Ok what is a pubic wig/merkin?

I have been, as an avid atheist, trying to ban deity-based swears from my vocabulary since the 1980's. I came home from my first semester at college saying god this and goddamn that and pissed off my atheist dad.

So I decided not to use god (or names/euphemisms therefor), damn (ditto), heaven or hell (ditto again for those). I was left with shit and fuck and, for emphasis, very. It is paralyzing.

I say My word! a lot. And when really mad, thus with no time to edit, god and damn and hell still, after decades, are what pop out.

So my kids could always tell if I was *really* angry.

But my reason is that I don't want to perpetuate the dangerous myth.
