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.

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."
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.
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.
I say "Jesus H Baldheaded Christ!" sometimes. When the situation demands it.
I'm waiting for the opportnity to use "Jesus, Mary, and Jenna Jameson!" in response to someone.
Hey Zeus Crisco!!
I use "Christ in a bucket."
So, remember upthread when I discovered that even though some of the new Temeraire books are being shipped already, the Kindle version won't be released until the official date of March 6? And I went "bah," and then pre-ordered it just to be sure?
Well, the same thing happened with Mira Grant's final zombie book--and some of the ebook readers sent her email calling her all sorts of misogynistic slurs, like "greedy bitch".
WTF. People SUCK.
