Article: Euphemisms are relatively harmless words or phrases that are used in place of more offensive ones. Using a euphemism instead of a swear word is a quick an easy way to clean up your vocabulary. Many existing swear words also have common euphemisms. For instance, try saying: "Funk!" instead of "f***!" "Darn!" instead of "damn!" "What the eff?", "What the heck?", or "What the barnacles?" instead of "What the f***?". Also "What the hell?" (acceptable with limitations). "SOB" instead of "Son of a b****" "BS" instead of "bull s***!" "Screwed up," "stinks," or "sucks" instead of "f***ed up" "Goofball" instead of "dumba**" "Rats!" instead of "crap!" or "s***!" Since these words are newly invented, they won't offend some people like swear words will. Use your imagination to invent replacement words and phrases like: "Boccalocca" "Egumwalasha!" "Dinglebuff" "I literally buhdangled my pants" "He was so glogged up" "I got my weewuu beat at bowling last night" "I can't find my nogwrangling keys!" Some words that were once used as offensive swear words have either become more acceptable, or have generally been forgotten. You can have fun researching some of these words and phrases, and practice using them to replace contemporary swear words. Some examples include: "Consarn it!" instead of "damn it!" "Zooterkins" (a seventeenth-century term for "God's wounds!" or "Zounds"!) "Sard" (an Old English term for f***) "Waesucks" (means "woe's sakes," but can be used in place of "s***!") "Gadzbudlikins!" (unknown derivation) "Fopdoodle" for "dumba**" Science fiction books, films, and television shows often invent alternative languages, including swear words. You can use some of these as less offensive replacements for swear words. For instance: "Ying-takh!" or "puh-takh," from Klingon, to replace the "S" or "F" words. "Frack" or "frak" from Battlestar Galactica, to replace the "F" word "Goram," from the Firefly series, to replace "G** d***!" You can use swear words from foreign languages as replacements. Since others around you may not know the foreign language, the replacement word will be less offensive. Avoid using swear words from a foreign language around others that speak that language, however. Some examples of foreign swear words include: "Scheisse" (pronounced "shy-seh"), German for "s***" "Aborder," Cajun for "f***" "Culo," Spanish for "a**" "Perfututum," Latin for "totally f***ed" Television, radio, and other media sources often use a "bleep" or "beep" sound to censor swear words and other undesirable or offensive phrases. You can adopt the same approach. Any time you feel the urge to swear, just say "bleep!" For example: "This bleeping movie is stupid!" "I lost my bleeping phone!" "I'm so bleeped." Circumlocutions, or ways of getting around saying something that you don't want to or shouldn't, can be used as another way of replacing swear words. They can also be an opportunity for you to practice speaking creatively and eloquently, and to have fun while doing it. For instance, try saying: "By the beard of Zeus, I declare: I have lost my keys and this has thrown me into a woefully anguished state of mind" instead of "I can't find my keys. I'm so f***ed." "That motorist displayed neither noble character nor common decency when our paths crossed" instead of "I can't believe that f***ing jacka** cut me off at the four-way stop!" "Woe is me! My addled brain confounded my feet, and I have unfortunately collided with this rock!" instead of "S*** I just stubbed my toe on this f***ing rock!"
