A headmaster from back in my youth once told me something marvellous.

"If you really must swear, try this....

'Oh FUC..........rying out loud!"

Mrs BigJohn (primary school teacher) often uses "Sugar" when in earshot of pupils.

"Shig and Butter" is also heard.

Someone put a swear jar in the office, all swear words are 10p except 'chunt' which is £1.

So now my friend you are a 'pound' 🙂

Whilst I try my hardest not to swear at work or at home, I also try not to soften the blow when I am finally forced to swear.

Hence, words like Damn and Blast, possibly even "ah", get replaced by the usual suspects when I finally reach the end of my patience.

I do like Yikes and Crikey. Old swearwords are where it's at though, or silly ones...

Gadzooks!
Drat!
Smeg!

If you fany insulting someone, try calling them a 'mothering-chumraa' and see what reaction you get.....
