Sometimes you just can't express yourself adequately without a good outburst of passion.

Unfortunately most of that sort of language is forbidden here.

You need to say something that tells people that you are upset, excited, shocked or. . . .well, whatever.

There are words that do the job that don't offend anyone. Sometimes they get a smile or even a laugh.

Here are a few of my favorites:

RATZAKRATZA!!

ROWRBAZZLE!!

FORGALOMIC PECALUMER!!

Of course they are "made up" words. So what?? They get the message across and they don't pull anyone's chain.

My Grandma used to say, "Oh pshaw!" and "Oh my stars!"; Dad sometimes said, "Blast!". Of course I would have been skinned alive if I ever used language that is so popular today. . . so lacking in eloquence and imagination.

I'll bet, if you think about it, you have harmless expletives, too.

How about it??

Holy schneikes! (pronounced shnikeys) Stole it from Tommy Boy, but I've been saying it so long it's become mine. Sunny beach. Mamacita. Perhaps we should coin a new term for our non-expletives. Fauxpletives anyone?:rolleyes:

Schplong, Shplib and Oosht are pretty popular within the Kenmyfamily. Why, I have no idea but they added themselves to our vocabulary many years ago.

"Son of a motherless goat!" Stupid, I know, but it actually makes me giggle everytime I say it, thus defusing my anger. ;)

Re: How to use expletives without offending forum rules

Always felt that the way most people used words that we consider naughty in nature showed a lack of imagination and creativity. I mean really, what is the purpose of f-ing this or that, cursing this or that, etc. I feel it is more helpful (at least for me) to come up with imaginative and fittingly descriptive things to say about what I am feeling. It usually takes my mind away from the object of my scorn and often brings a smile to my face instead of the foreboding frown.
