I can't remember where I picked up "shite" -- probably Trainspotting. I'm sure it sounds affected, but since I really am using it completely unconsciously, I can't help it.
Angel's lame. His hair goes straight up, and he's bloody stupid!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This is me, too. I don't use it often but sometimes it just pops out.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
It can be cheesy, I guess. I swear like all the places I've lived, so "shite" pales in comparison to "tabernac" in terms of incongruity with my accent.
See now, tabernac I like. It would be such an obviously intentional usage that it escapes the twee factor, for me.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?

I've seen various Kevin Smith movies uncensored, so I'm going to say yeah.
I've seen them censored occasionally and it's just pointless. Just about everything out of Jay's mouth is overdubbed with something really stupid.
I use friggin' a lot, even when I'm not self-censoring. I seem to use it for emphasis when I don't think something is quite f-bomb worthy.
I also tend to use "Fun" in a sarcastic tone of voice when something bad, but not overly surprising or tragic, happens which people have sometimes mistaken for "fuck".
"Fuck a duck!"
My friends and I used to use this one a lot in highschool. We almost died when one of our quieter female friends heard one of us exclaim it and replied in a sultry voice "Quack, quack, baby."
At some point later it evolved into "Fuck a duck with a rusty chainsaw!" but I have no idea why. I just remember that this indicated that the situation was more unfortunate than those that invoked ordinary mallard copulation.

I'd guess from Heathers ("Fuck me gently with a chainsaw").

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

Except it's not obviously intentional. No more than the rest of my swearing, anyway.

Yep. Same for me, along with "bugger", "bloody", and "wanker".

Our wings are not tired.
I prefer frell to frak, but only use them in my head. I just can't convincingly pull off potty mouth.
Yay for new phones. I got the Sprint Treo variety. Sadly I haven't taken the time to set up many of the features. I haven't even used the camera, but the kids have.

Could very well be. I do think that was quoted at least once (though I never saw the movie until well after highschool) and over time they just sort merged into one uber-exclamation.

I've been known to use "bloody" and occaisionally "bloody hell", and even managed to get my brother to start doing it, but I have no idea where I originally picked it up (I started using it pre-Buffy-watching) and I'm sure it sounds incredibly out of place.
