We encourage appropriate use. You don't like the spaghetti sauce and say
"This sauce sucks crap." Not really nice or appropriate. ou fall down and
skin your knee and drop your DS and it screws up the game you were playing.
You say, "Oh f*ck!" Appropriate use. We also had a talk about offending
peole and how some people find curse words objectionable. That worked in our
house.

Peace,

Well - the F-word is straightforward, monosyllabic, sharp in the mouth
- solid and everyone knows what you mean. A classic.

Or you could go with a medieval version - "God's Teeth!!" or "God's
Thumbs" - those are entertaining. Or "Od's Bodkins."

Of course you could always use a science fiction word - Larry Niven's
Ringworld gives us "tanj" (there ain't no justice) which has a nice
etymology behind it and has a nice strong classic swear-word sound to
it. Plus you can declare your geekiness in your cursing.

Foreign language swearwords are often fun - "Schiesse!"

Or go with imaginative stream of consciousness whatever flows out of
your mouth organic improvised be in the moment -- "Freakin' aardvarks
on a piano!"

Just a few suggestions for you. <g>

I like that one personally. Effective and powerful. Oh yes.

Scott also likes "tartar sauce" and "poopdeck" inspired by one of his
favorite shows; Spongebob Squarepants. They have such creative ways of
cussing.:)

I also like "cripes" and "Holy crap" though.

I was driving up a steep icy driveway once. My jeep began to slide
backward down the hill. All the way down for about 20 to 30 seconds
whilevI repeated the word "Shit" over and over again. Skylar was in
the back about 4 years old at the time. I finally hit a fence and
stopped. Before I could even get a word out of my mouth Skylar says,
"Awww f**k it mom." Completely appropriate.

Discussion about appropriateness in different situations has worked
for us quite well too. What has not worked so well is using the words
in front of a younger sibling who isn't quite clear on appropriateness
yet. I ended up letting that one go and we haven't had any awkward
moments with Milo as of yet. :-)

We had an experience with DD when she was rather young. She had spent the weekend with Pa-Pa and well he curses like a drunken sailor. I got cut off, surprisingly enough by an off duty state policeman, as I was taking an exit towards our house. She let loose out the window. He flashed the blue lights and asked her to repeat what she had said. I was mortified. He probably never laughed so hard and told her she was right he was very stupid for what he did and apologized. Then looked at me and said that I needed to teach her not to say those things because of verbal assault. I started laughing and asked who would press charges against a 3 yr old. Apparently it would be mommy's fault because I should control everything that comes out of her mouth. I told him then I would have to control everything went in and all kids have to taste test stuff to determine its worth.

As for phrases you will hear around our house, "Einstien" for those lacking in intelligence, "shitfire and damnation", "son of a bean bag buccaneer", tartar sauce, poopdeck, poppycock, we have discussed numerous times using appropriate words at appropriate times. Cursing still occurs and with daddy moving in next week, it will be interesting to see what new words the kids can learn this time.

Also, anyone within a 100 mile radius be forewarned spitting contests shall commence, daddy thinks it is an appropriate education for a young boy to know how and when to spit and distance counts. This among other things he would never have allowed his kids to do. Most of it is aimed at irritating mommy and daddy, which it doesn't. LOL

Well... technically, inappropriate. I doubt that verb was being
enacted...

I told my son to make sure he knows what a word means before using it,
as he could unintentionally offend someone or get in trouble
otherwise. (When a kid of an agnostic and atheist says "Hell", at a
young age, odds are, he doesn't know what it means, and picked it up
from a movie or another kid. He hadn't a clue. Or when he called me
an ass (I had just called him a goose -- he was being silly) --
because that is a term used in the Narnia books.... had a really hard
time fighting a belly laugh there!)

One night Quinn (3 y.o.) woke at 3:00 a.m. hungry. As I opened the
refrigerator door a bottle of ketchup fell out, the top cracked, and
ketchup went all over including under the refrigerator. I said the
first thing that came to mind, "F**king shit!" My parents visited the
next week, and Quinn happily told the story of the ketchup spilling
and the words I said. I couldn't hold back the laughter at my mom's
appalled expression. My mom told her that I was sorry that I had said
those bad words. I told Quinn that I wasn't sorry, and that those
weren't words that grandma likes to hear. Quinn kept repeating the
story, but it gradually evolved into saying that I was an angry woman
when the ketchup spilled. She has learned some of my colorful
vocabulary and uses it, but I think she's already learning when and
where it's appropriate.

Our unschooling group came up with an alphabet of curse words and
crass terms at a park day once. They are just words, and we had a lot
of fun.

Here you go:

Way more swears than anyone could use. Here's a sampling:

Fantasy swears (http://tinyurl.com/ywqmma) like:

Bastard's Demons - from Lois McMaster Bujold's Chalion universe.
General expletive referring to the one of five gods who runs hell.

canner - from the movie I, Robot, a racial epithet used against
robots, particularly by the protagonist.

fahrbot - from Farscape; meaning insane or mentally deficient.

Hab SoSlI' Quch! - Klingon for "Your Mother has a smooth forehead."
The worst curse/insult in the Klingon language... especially in
reference about one's mother.

hippikaloric - from Ozma of Oz by L. Frank Baum - a word uttered by
the Nome King, "which must be a dreadful word because we don't know
what it means".

mudblood - from Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling, used by "pure-blood"
people to slander those whose ancestors who are non-magical (e.g.
Hermione Granger).

puckernuts - from Elfquest; similar meaning to "damn" or "damn it"

rassin-frassin - from Hanna-Barbera's Jetsons & Flintstones a
derogatory adjective of some kind. Possible corruption of the German
curse "Ratten-Fressen" or "Rat Eating/Eater." Also uttered by
Yosemite Sam in Warner Bros cartoons. Also similar/the same as the
quiet muttering used by Muttley in Wacky Races. Also spelled/
pronounced "ratchafratchin".

zoinks - from Scooby Doo, a common expletive uttered by Shaggy Rogers.

Foreign swears, like:

Dutch
mafketel weirdo NOTE Also "Mafkees" where "Kees" is a traditional
Dutch male name. Mafketel literally means "Weird pot".

German
verdammter Schweinhund (neut. noun) idiot, absolute moron; dodo NOTE
Pronounced fair-DAHM-tir SHVINE-hoont; means, literally, "Damned
pigdog." Can be used as an expletive: "Ach! Verdammter Schweinhund!"
or as an insult: "Du bist ein verdammter Schweinhund." Means stupid
in a sloppy, revolting, or ridiculous way. Uncommon.

Italian
Porco due (excl.) "By Gosh!" (literally "Pig two!") NOTE Used to
avoid saying "Porcoddio!" a blasphemous expression that means "God-
pig". It sounds very similar to it. Very popular in Italy between
10-15 years people.

(Similar to Zio cantante, literally "Uncle singer!" as a euphemism
for "Dio Cane!" which literally means "God-dog!")

Swedish
rannskita (noun) diarrhea NOTE Literal translation: Running butt.

Tibetan
phai.sha.za.mkhan. {noun phrase} eater of father's flesh NOTE A
strong insult in Tibetan.

Yiddish
shlemiel (noun) clumsy oaf. Klutz NOTE The sort of person who, when
at a fancy restaurant, invariably spills his soup.

This IS hilarious.

My kids really have an amazing innate sense of what words are
appropriate in what situations and around what people. My husband is a
carpenter, and my kids know all the" bad words", yet I can't yet
remember them ever saying one in a situation that offended or
embarrassed anyone. I may have issued a few reminders - you know, when
we are around so and so you may not want to use that word as I a pretty
sure they would feel offended. But not for a long time.

Personally, I like to save the F word for rare occasions- it really has
an impact then- wow- did you hear what mom just said!

I love these!!! God's Teeth...too fun. We don't swear here. It isn't that we couldn't, we just
don't. My hubby tried swearing when he was in HS and college, but people would look at
him and say "it just doesn't sound right coming out of your mouth". He is seen as someone
more mature than he is.

Me? Well. I have off and on, but usually only around myself. I have listened to it enough
being around military personnel and just never got into it. My kids will hear it and ask why
people say those "mean things". Usually it is B*#ch or F-word--and we have heard it in
harsh ways from parents being horrible to their kids. So I guess we have seen it used cruelly
and don't want to be that way ourselves.

My father, who I guess could swear quite well when he was younger, never swore at home.
He loved big words and said that "Profanity is a crutch for the weakminded", and so he would
find big words to use to say instead. One of his favs was "You are the quintessence of asinine
stupidity". *sigh*

We have many friends that swear, but it is funny....when they are around us the either 1.
apologize for it or 2. choose not to swear. The words are out there. The are words that have
been around for ages. I think some people just aren't good at it--like Spock or Data. LOL

amberlee_b

This is hysterical! Ok, I amend my previous post,....we don't swear in the "traditional"
sense. I say snap, shoot, darn, oh my heck, what on Earth, phooey, fudge....things like
that. I have heard DH say freakin, bloody, bugger, rassa frassa fram bassa frassa (A
Christmas story...he played the "old man"....my fav from that was "Summoning Bench!").
Both of us have tossed out Yiddish things. Too funny!

"Bloody" and "bugger" are almost as "bad" as the F-word in Britain.
Consider yourselves "cursers" of the highest order <g>.

Check out the "English-to-American Dictionary" - lots of potential
swear words, plus plenty of interesting and funny everyday expressions.

My kids laugh because I use foul language in my blog, but rarely in spoken conversation. We don't really curse in our house. I say dammit, and so does my 3 yr old, every time she drops something, it's hilarious. When I hear them say it (usually around a year or so) it reminds me to try & stop saying it for a while, but that never lasts long.

My husband uses foul language, but they don't copy him.

I think my 11 yr old probably curses more than any of us. I don't mind much, she isn't offensive with it, she doesn't use ugly words to insult people, they're usually exclamations.

They ARE just words, but since some people get worked up over them, I do think it's common courtesy to not use them in professional situations (we cater & I don't think my kids would use them while serving, nor would I)

Honestly I am not sure my DH knew what they meant, they just "sounded
cool". I think that is the point...for words to sound cool coming out
of your mouth...and feel right.

I quite love swearing.  I love the shock value that even I get when I say holy f**k.  I don't do it that often, and have made a concerted effort to not do it much while our girls are still so little.  I am completely tickled by all the creative options that have been shared though!
 
I see them as just words, like umbrella, or kleenex.  Nothing really has meaning except for the meaning we give it.
 
My favourite swearing story from our house is when I spilled something, said 'f**k', and my daughter, who couldn't yet say f's said to me, 'momma, why you say puck?'.  I told her I was talking about hockey :).  Cracked me up.

I just remembered our funniest swearing story:  We were driving through the Tim Horton's drivethrough because the girls asked for a timbit.  As they usually do when we pull up to the windown, the girls asked for their windows to be rolled down so they could say hi to the woman at the window.  As soon as I rolled the window down, Skye hollered, "fucking donuts!".  I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants.  Certainly not very appriopriate, but really really funny :).

For the uninitiated <g>, Tim Horton's is a donut shop with locations
across Canada and timbits are the donut holes. We always pick up a box
of timbits when we head to Vancouver. Waah, I miss them!

P.S. Skye's pretty funny! LOL

Tim Hortons has expanded. We had one in Dayton OH.
Until then I had only seen them in Canada.

Actually, last time we were visiting my sister in Washington state, we saw Tim Horton's there.  And yep, Skye cracks me up on a regular basis!

For the uninitiated <g>, Tim Horton's is a donut shop with locations
across Canada and timbits are the donut holes. We always pick up a box
of timbits when we head to Vancouver. Waah, I miss them!

P.S. Skye's pretty funny! LOL

This is making me go "eek!" Did the person working the window think
the windows were rolled down just so he could be cussed at? It seems
really rude the way you've written it - not funny. But I'm guessing it
didn't happen the way I'm seeing it in my mind. How did it actually
play out?

Thanks,
Caren
