My mom says "Oh, ick," which is a very 1940's teenager way to not-swear.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

A few weeks ago when my family and I were locked out of my parent's van after dinner, Mom yelled "SHIT!" in front of the restaurant entrance, which is absolutely hilarious considering how much of a goody two-shoes she is. Much of my own annoyance at the situation disappeared as a result.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
When I told my mom I had a boyfriend (after almost a decade of being a total lezzie, as far as she knew), she exclaimed, "holy SHIT!!" Which sent my sister and me into gales of laughter, and then she chided herself for cursing on the Sabbath, which just made us laugh more.

I said "Oh my god," once, and my mother nearly drove off the road, she was so busy telling me how horrified and disappointed she was in me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I often say Holy Mother of God, or Mother of God when I really want to say Motherfucker.
I do this except it usually backfires and I wind up saying Holy Mother of FUCK.

Grandma E says "oh foot!" that's the strongest thing I've heard from her ever.

Punishingly Intricate
I say "Jesus H Baldheaded Christ!" sometimes. When the situation demands it.
