Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
"Fuck a duck!"
One of my favorite phrases, EVAH!
I've been replacing with flipping and effing lately. When I'm replacing at all. I'm really enjoying flipping, actually. It's winning over everything at the moment.
I really gotta thank Farscape for "frelling".
Footbal;l season is getting underway, and the household where we watch the games now has a two year old (who let fly with her first "fuck" a couple of weeks ago after her mom couldn't keep herself from yelling at other drivers on the way to the Children's Museum). As you might imagine, Saints football inspires a lot of cursing. I think "fudge" and "sugar" have been mentioned as easy substitutions. It'll be interesting to see how some of the more creative verbiage gets transformed.
I've unconciously switched to sci-fi swearing almost exlusively.
I was tickled to notice that I yelled "Frak!" last night when... something happened - forgot something in the oven, I think. But I think it was only because I'd just downloaded a "frak" icon. Still, it was fun.
The Breakfast Club had "hot beef injection" replaced with "hot love and affection."
My favorite was "Stuff you, man! Stuff you!".
Sixteen Candles, Jake Ryan on the phone with Sam's grandparents: "Oh, hug me."
Frell is REALLY satisfying. I think it's the "fr" combined with the similarity to "hell".
I auto-censor around my parents, my editor in chief (who reminds me of my parents), and anyone who looks like they are past retirement age. Auto-censoring tends to be a mix of the standard "darn" and "drat" with SFisms, such as "frelling."
"Frelling" really works for me. (Er, well, yeah--I think I'll just leave that out there. Anyway.) I think it's because it feels like a combo of "fucking" and "hell". Or maybe "frigging" and "hell." Which may be how they powers that create came up with it.
ETA: another frelling cross post.
Jake. My first and best car was named after him.
(And I know I've posted that before, so I am all about keeping with the thread title)
I do like frak. I think I forget it's not really swearing, sometimes.
I think Eliot has been saying it on Scrubs since before the current BSG, though.

It must be a two-year-old mimicry thing. My nephew did that just recently, to his grandmother.
