I usually go for: "Fuck, wank, bugger, shitting arsehead and hole."
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Same here.

Always saying "For gods sake!" and "jesus fucking christ!" when exasperated. Angel
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

I used to say "Oh God" but now I go to say "$#!+" I get the "Sh" out then realise that I shouldn't cuss as I don't want to be rude,
so I replace it with "Oh gosh!" which now sounds like "Shh Oh gosh" which now makes me sound a little bit of a snob.
Also I have replaced the word "Jesus" with "Jeeze".

At my Catholic school,one of the resident neurotics told a class of 11 year olds not to say:

'Gosh'= God

'Golly'= God

'Geewizz' = Jesus.

Of course we all ignored the dopey twat,until about age 12 when we replaced the entire list with 'fuck'.Tiger

I overheard a lady in Walmarta few months ago telling another about her pastors "great" teaching and it was to avoid those words plus "Gee" and "Geez." The stupidity is astounding.

It's illegal to complain about anything you hear in Walmart because you have to be in a Walmart to hear it.

I never acquired the habit of saying either. It always sounded so cheesy.

I only say frak or frell.
