I use other words instead. Particularly ones from my favorite books. Pox, Rust and Ruin, Storm it. It's a very rare occasion you'll hear me swear. Usually when my dog gets outside without a leash... That's about it.
I only say fuck, or when I'm trying something and it just won't work, there's a german word I use to say, it's hardly translatable and as following: HERRGOTTSDUNNERWETTLNOCHEMOL
i REALLY don't know :D
I mean german is my native language and there are so many dialects and I couldn't recognize any - except from that one dialect that makes everyone sound gay :D
If you'd translate it into decent german, it'd say: Herrgotts Donnerwetter noch einmal
When I stub my toe or whatever, I just... don't say anything. Usually gasp and sometimes say something like "ow", but swear words just aren't part of my regular vocabulary. It makes me feel like I SHOULD be saying something more explosive than just "ow!", but it simply doesn't happen.
I was always afraid of my mother finding out of I swore and just like magically kool-aid manning it through a wall to tell me I'm grounded. And so eventual it just feels like a weird thought to swear. My substitutes include "go bite yourself" "frick" "fudge" "God dang it" and such
Means something like "Lordy's thunderstorm once again" :D
I mean you can just create any new word and others will understand it :D
