"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Deeply embarrassing confession #1:

I occasionally use the epithet "Szplitz on Szplug!" when I am frustrated at myself. This epithet was coined (In French, mimicking fake-Czech) in a Tintin graphic novel involving the Iron Curtain, intrigue, and that irritating blonde opera singer whose name I forget.

Deeply embarrassing confession #2:

When I feel the need to express my opinions of other people's driving and/or ambulatory habits, I have fallen back on "dumb bunny!" with increasing regularity.

I think the guys in white coats are on their way here right now.

It's very handy to have British curses handy, because most local folk think I'm being all quaint and PBS-ly. Then actual Brits wander past and hear me and I have to apologize to their poor shocked selves.

I always wonder what visiting Brits think as they drive around and see all the gardening stores proudly declaring "SOD!" on their signs.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Oh. Dear.

"oh lord love a duck" for disgust

Nobody

I've been known to burst out with an extremely unladylike "oh for the love of little green apples!" every now and then.

God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis...

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

In college my favorite swear was "Fuck a flying dead duck!" Thus pissing off both the hunting lobby and the necrophiliacs in one swell foop.

These days I'm more likely to say "Christ on a crutch!" or "For the love of jebuslug!", the latter primarily in fannish locations.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

heheheheheee! Suela said "swell foop"!

Okay, spoonerisms make me giddy. What?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

And there is always the late '80s classic, "Fuck me gently with a chainsaw."

I don't know if I could have learned to swear without Heathers.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I like "Bugger this for a bunch of bananas" and "Sod a dog".

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

"Fuck me gently with a chainsaw."

Which, for reasons I don't understand, seems to have evolved into "fuck me with a SPOON" as a favoured epithet of mine.
