What's really fun are the substitutions being used by people who don't want to swear, but still can't avoid using expletives. "freakin" "flippin" "forkin" "shoot" "shucks" I could go on, but you get the idea. Please feel free to add to the list.

A little first grader of mine with teenage brothers had a swearing problem in kindergarten so his parents and he worked to find other options besides swearing. He dropped a book on his foot and said, "Son of a nutcracker," instead of something else. Works for me.

One of my favorites is from the X-Files episode "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'", where the police investigator is always swearing, but the flashbacks show him saying "bleepity bleep".
