You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

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.

Your tag here.

The Breakfast Club had "hot beef injection" replaced with "hot love and affection."

My favorite was "Stuff you, man! Stuff you!".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sixteen Candles, Jake Ryan on the phone with Sam's grandparents: "Oh, hug me."

If I only had a brain...

Frell is REALLY satisfying. I think it's the "fr" combined with the similarity to "hell".

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

(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)

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I say "Curses!" a fair amount now. Covers work and anything I may say loudly at krav. And "Fothermucker!" but that's not really like hiding anything.

I don't think F/X will show anything, or Dennis Leary was showing restraint -- their most profanity ridden ep lacked both cunt and nigger, IIRC.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I say "Curses!" a fair amount now.

That's a delightful image to have in my head. A very cross ita saying "Curses!"

I also say "Curses!", and "Bother!" I've apparently started using "squalling" to replace "fucking" (thanks to reading the Hopeless Savages comics).
