Crabgrass by Tauhid Bondia for October 09, 2022

Oh Crab.

“Sussy baka”. I don’t know what it means, but it’s something I’ve heard kids say, and I just assume it’s a swear they invented.

I learned swear words from Yosemite Sam, I thought “ratta, fratta, hatta” was a swear word.

Oh Fudge Puppies.

Ain’t society wonderful when it comers to linguistics?

Anything’s a swear word if you get the inflection right.

Frak! [Battlestar Galactica]

Miles is about to discover that Mom doesn’t care what you think.

“Shiitake mushrooms” was me and my sister’s code word for “s**t” when we were around our parents.

My nephew learned a few choice words from his mom when he was little and after being told repeatedly that those weren’t “kid words”, he made up his own… “GOL-DARN-DANGIT!”… usually with a foot stomp to go with it. Worked for him, worked for us and got more than one chuckle from people when he’d say it in public.

Why have vulgarities at all if they’re bad anyways?

And, the big question left unresolved, will inventing new ones get your mouth washed out with soap? Mom will definitely rule it a euphemism. Can a euphemism get you convicted, or will you walk on a technicality?

Let me guess. Kevin got grounded for swearing

“Thou spleeny swag-bellied miscreant!” from Create Your Own Shakespearean Insults by Sarah Royal and Jillian Hofer. The book was a stocking gift for Christmas in some year. . .

Frak and Feldergarb are relatively new.

I don’t think I’d eat that shwump-fuggle. It looks pretty nasty.

Balderdash! Yesterday’s swear words are today’s gibberish.

Under movie censorship W. C. Fields used Godfrey Daniels and mother of pearl.

Schwumpfiggle. I’m so using that!

The way to really get that cathartic relief of using a juicy swear word is to learn those in another language that your parents don’t speak. Google translate is your friend.

This is hilarious

This whomps.

Beatrix from Breaking Cat News says “Bullfrogs!”

Yeah, I agree with the kids here. Not that it’s good to use swear words, but the double standard. I’ve heard parents tell their kids not to use a word because it’s an “adult” word. How about setting a good example and NOT USING IT AROUND YOUR KIDS? OR AT ALL? Sorry. I’ll get off my soap box now. LOL

Those word may sound silly but they won’t get your face slapped by your Mom.

I’ve mentioned this before: a friend used to use “Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung!”, a nasty-sounding German term that translates as “speed limit.”

miles’s mom will certainly understand the meaning of those words – he’s grounded

Confusion is a great way to dispel the harshness of a profane outburst. Aww shiz-nit! That’s a load of bungwaggle! I find it more satisfying to use phrases that are fun to say and roll off the tongue.

shifuku ne… fake japanese swear I use

No new swear words? What the frell is he talking about? That gak is fething nonsense.

They have found their mission in life.

I feel bad if I say something so strong as oh my go-odness

I WONDERED THESE THINGS SO MUCH (AND STILL DO)

Let me guess, Kevin is grounded for saying a swear word!
