I Want This V Chip Outta Me, It Has Stunted My Vocabulary

Fiona is talking up a storm and repeating half of what we say. This means the time has come to buckle down and clean up my language. My internal sensor seems to be functioning pretty well, stopping me before I say anything she shouldn't hear.



The problem I'm coming across is this, there are times when you need an expletive. For example you drop something heavy on your foot "Oh Darn" just isn't as satisfying. I've been using "Krudlump" and "Sucks Cheese" when I'm at work or other non swearing arenas for years. I've tried out "Good Grief" but that makes me feel like Charlie Brown and I can sometimes substitute "Freaking" for the more famous F word but it's not the same.



Does any one have any good suggestions for satisfying non four letter expletives?

i say crackers alot. I don't know why but it's satisfying in most situations.

I think it's the harsher CK noise.

I'm with Schelle. Crackers is high on my list. In extreme circumstances, it's "crap on a cracker".
