Poll question: Best expletive, non-obscene

[MrScorpio]

1. That's "Thufferin' thuccotash!"

Get it right

[Bossy Monkey]

28. Thomebody bethideth Thylvethter could thay thith

theoretically...

[Midlodemocrat]

2. Freeper. Hands down the best expletive ever.

[DS1]

6. I'd second that, but I can't write fucking freeper without the fucking

prefix. See?

[Midlodemocrat]

17. Well, actually, I prefer

fucking freeper POS asshole, but that's just me.

[DS1]

20. Either way, it negates this as a cuss-free option

Oh well. Like how you can't take the Lord's name in vain and all that, you can't use Freeper with out some variant of the root fuck.

[mikeiddy]

3. Oh Piffle

My grandmother used to say that.

[skygazer]

[Tafiti]

33. My dad used to say that all the time...

...and in a funny voice.

Where the hell does it come from? :shrug:

[MN ChimpH8R]

44. It was Snagglepuss' catch phrase

"Heavens to murgatroyd!"

[Arugula Latte]

54. I love Snagglepuss!

Of course, he was still closeted, back in the day.

Wonder if he and Huckleberry Hound ever consumated their love?

[MN ChimpH8R]

57. LOL!

Wally Gator was pretty campy too, if you know what I mean.

[bridgit]

though the one I use most often is "drat"

[Deja Q]

10. How come #4 isn't the top winner?

:cry:




:rofl:

[LuCifer]

11. What about "crap"?!

Or is that obscene?! I mean, doesn't it come from Thomas Crapper (OH GOD WHAT A NAME! Shoot!) who "invented" (he actually DIDN'T, but, that's ANOTHER story!) the, well, crapper! Wouldn't you hate life being his kid?!?!?! "HEY CRAPPER CRAPHEAD!"

What about CACA?! Poo?! Shoot? Fudge?! Just throwing CRAP out there!

Lu

[Dangerously Amused]

24. I vote for crap.

Which, IN THIS CASE ONLY, does NOT mean I voted for Bush. Which is also NOT to say that those I voted for ARE crap. Uh... what I mean is.. oh crap. Nevermind.

[Z_I_Peevey]

12. Fiddlesticks!

That's a good one.

Also, any variant of "racken, fracken, sacken!"

[Fox Mulder]

21. Bloody hell...

or, my favorite, "Naff off."

Naff: British slang, today meaning uncool, tacky, unfashionable, worthless... or as a softer expletive, in places where one might use "fuck" as in "naff off", "naff all", "naffing about".

[Yavin4]

22. Jumpin' Jehosaphat

27. Any line from a Dr. Strange comic. "By the all seeing eye of agamotto!!"

[Wapsie B]

29. GOD bless america!

instead of goddamnit

[Bossy Monkey]

37. When I was teeny we'd say "God bless you!" instead of "God damn you!"

and we'd say it really savagely. Rather surreal when you think about it; I guess that's why when we got old enough to think about what we were saying, we just switched to the real cusswords.

[BigMcLargehuge]

a good old favorite of mine. It usually leaves
the other person in a laughing heap once they think
about what I've just said.

[Left_Winger]

69. Another good one:

Moses, smell the roses!

[hyphenate]

63. Depends on what you mean by obscene

I like "bloody hell" but in England, it might be considered obscene. The other one I like is "for crying out loud."
