Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: bubblyrat Date: 23 Jan 07 - 08:10 PM In the county of Cornwall,in England ,there is a picturesque fishing village called Mousehole. However,it is not pronounced mouse -hole, but rather "muzzle " . A former partner of mine ,knowing of this fact, but who was very religious,and not given to profanity,would,if she found someone to be really annoying, invariably refer to them as an "Arzle " ---Truly !! |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: Scrump Date: 24 Jan 07 - 12:13 PM Heavens to Murgatroyd! (from Gilbert and Sullivan's "Ruddigore", via my father.) Well, that proves I'm no intellectual. I always thought that was Snagglepuss :-) (But I do know the Lone Ranger's theme tune is the William Tell Overture) |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: Alec Date: 24 Jan 07 - 03:43 PM The first play I ever appeared in was "The Matchmaker" by Thornton Wilder, in which I played a character called Barnaby Tucker who was inclined to proclaim "Holy Cabooses!" on a regular basis. Also,my mother used to use the phrase "Good God & Gordon Highlanders" on occasion. |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: Cluin Date: 24 Jan 07 - 04:01 PM My mom is a creative cusser; she makes up new colourful ones on the spot. She used to swear profusely, sitting at her old sewing machine when we were kids. She later bought a better one and it works better so she doesn't swear as much any more. But a perrenial favourite of hers we heard often was "Oh bitch and be buggered!" The question I had for her was, "Is that a natural progression, Mom?" A glare and a smirk was the only answer I ever got. |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: Joe_F Date: 24 Jan 07 - 09:32 PM A friend of mine recently told me the following story: When he was little, for a while, he had to get to school on a city bus, and his mother or father would accompany him. One morning, his mother had to go to the bathroom, so she parked him at the bus stop and told him, in case the bus came before she got back, to ask the driver to wait. It did, and he did, but the driver refused to wait. When he told his mother that, she said "That bastard!". He had never heard the word, and supposed it meant bus driver. So when, later on, his father gave him the same instruction so he could duck into the liquor store & buy a pack of cigarettes, he replied "The bastard won't do that". After a double take, his father told him not to bring home language that he had picked up in the schoolyard. He told his father he hadn't learned it in the schoolyard, but from Mommy. His father afterward had words with his mother, and from then on, "bus driver" was a code word between the boy & his mother. When they wished to disparage someone in polite company, they would say "That bus driver". |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: maple_leaf_boy Date: 04 Jan 09 - 08:07 PM Another one from the Little Rascals by Spanky to Alfalfa: "sissified tweety bird." Cliff from the Flintstones with John Goodman: "son of a bracheosaurus." spelling? Dickie Roberts: "this is nuckin' futs." Another G-Rated "swear-phrase." "Oh, Bob Saget." Which can replace just about any profane word or phrase. |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 05 Jan 09 - 09:32 AM My mother, when aggravated, would utter: "Good night nurse!" If she was REALLY aggravated, it came out more like "GOOD! NIGHT! NURSE!!!" Dave Oesterreich |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: ClaireBear Date: 05 Jan 09 - 12:08 PM Now let's have a rousing rendition of the following three-part round from The Art of the Ground Round (for 3 baritones & discontinuo, S. $1. 19/lb), penned by P.D.Q. Bach/Peter Schickele: Golly golly oh, my gosh. Golly golly my, oh my. Golly golly goodness sakes alive. Can you beat that? I never heard of such a thing. Oh boy, that really takes the cake. Well I never ever saw the likes of that. Holy cow, jeeze Louise! Man alive, I declare now I've seen Everything. We-ell, I'll be. Will you look at that? |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: katlaughing Date: 05 Jan 09 - 04:11 PM We've been using "holy moley" a lot lately, plus "hot diggity dog," though I don't think of that as a swear word. My grandson thinks they are funny. In a novel I read recently, the ladies using a basin of water to bathe, would take off their tops and say, wash as far as possible. Then they'd pull up their tops and lift up their skirts, again, saying to wash as far as possible. When they got done with that they'd laugh and say, now wash Possible! |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: Azizi Date: 05 Jan 09 - 10:16 PM Just popping in to say that mention of this thread in Funny Mudcat threads listing what revived this thread. If you'd not done so yet, please check out that thread and, if you would, please add the name/s of any funny or witty Mudcat threads that you think should be added to that list. It would be great if you would include the hyperlink to the thread you add or its URL. However, if you don't know the website address of a thread, maybe I or someone else could find it just by its title. Btw, a small amount of word play has started on that "Funny Mudcat Threads" thread. If you like play on words, please join in the fun. You might even feel compelled to use one or two of the G rated swear words that you remember, butt I rather doubt that. :o) Thanks, and best wishes, Azizi |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: frogprince Date: 06 Jan 09 - 09:44 PM No one came up with a couple of things from an ancient cartoon TV ad (about ballpoint pens that didn't work?) that I still find myself using sometimes, and have heard others use occasionaly; I don't know that I've ever seen them in print, so I'll have to do what I can fownetily: WISHAFRATS!

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: CamiSu Date: 07 Jan 09 - 01:33 AM My neighbor taught me "Son of a biscuit" Also as insult "You pusillanimous nonentity" From Anne McCaffery BEFORE the dragon books "Fardling" My dad used a lot of the ones I saw here. When I first started teching in the theater around here there was a guy whose most savage swear (that I heard) was "sigh". Then one day the scrim curtain (VERY expensive) caught on a piece of setwork as it was going out, and I found out that he DID know all those other words... Fards. Back to work Cami |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: BK Lick Date: 07 Jan 09 - 06:04 AM I've always liked: Great jumpin' Jehosaphat! In Frank Gilroy's splendid play, The Subject Was Roses, a father and son agree that they haven't had too much to drink as long as they're still able to say "Mercy, mercy, said old Mrs. Percy" and "Bless us and save us, said Mrs. O'Davis." —BK |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 07 Jan 09 - 08:22 AM When I was in high school, there was a story going around, which I can't verify, but I hope it's true. Seems one of our fellow students (I've forgotten the name in the sixty years that have passed) was taking Latin. His mother contacted the Latin teacher and complained bitterly, that her son was learning Latin dirty language in class, and using it on many, many occasions. The Latin teacher denied teaching any such thing to her students, and asked what it was that the kid was sprinkling into his conversation. "Mirabile Dictu!" . . . . . . . . "Strange to say!"

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: john f weldon Date: 07 Jan 09 - 09:39 AM Stephen Fry says: "Pants!" I once knew a guy who said "Dix" (French for ten) as a swearword. We used to say "Careful! Don't step in the Mulroney." ...which of course can be updated. DL used "UGA" (which apparently stands for Uro-Genital Area). |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: Bat Goddess Date: 07 Jan 09 - 01:59 PM My grandfather used to say, "Holy old bald-headed Nelly!" and I only ever heard one other person use that phrase -- an elderly supervisor of the department next to Commercial Engineering at the Wisconsin Telephone Company, circa 1967. Back in the '70s my ex-husband and I devised a new word to describe the driving-impaired person on the road in front of us (in summer-choked Kennebunkport) so that young ears wouldn't know what we were actually saying. The root word was TAMFI, standing for "turkey-assed mother-fxxking idiot" and followed by either T, SC, or R standing for Tourist, Summer Complaint or Resident. Tamfit, Tamfisc or Tamfir. (Yes, there IS a distinction between "tourist" and "summer complaint"...) Worked at the time. Haven't thought much about it since, but, then again, I haven't tried to lived in a summer resort area for many years. (Well, Portsmouth streets during tourist season...) By the way, you can't get to heaven if you're hit by a tourist. Linn |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: EBarnacle Date: 07 Jan 09 - 03:49 PM My current favorite [for the past several years] is maledictu. When cursing someone out, you can tell them they are lower than whaledreck. When advising someone that they have been taken advantage of, there is that grand old TANSTAAFL. I am truly surprised that none of these have made it into the list previously. |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 06 May 09 - 08:36 AM In my youth I practiced and memorized this stream for those occasions when a miss directed hammer blow struck the thumb.
Dad blasted, stinkin filthy, son of a low down, yellow belly crawling, no good horse-stealing, wife swapping, drunken bilge drinking Irish sea captain.
Which was long enough to get through ANY immediate shock and pain while stomping around.
For cursing - Latin was great - "Fillim ranum semper tibi moderant calsus"(sic) Son-of-a-frog-may-the mosquittos-always-bite. (creating curses was far more interesting than Gaulic Wars or Aeneid)
Sincerely,
(As hard as it may be to imagine - I am NOT prone to profanity nor coarse jesting.) |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 06 May 09 - 11:18 AM Way back in university days, I was fond of the following insult: You microcephalic, coprophagal leptosome! . . . . . which translates as . . . . "You skinny shit-eating pinhead!" Dave Oesterreich |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: GUEST,Slag Date: 06 May 09 - 11:44 PM I had an uncle who was fond of "Judas Priest!" but that has since been co-opted by a rock group. My grandfather was not allowed my my grandmother, to cuss, but he occasionally got out an "Oh Shyte". They both had Germans in their linage. then there is: Fudd Ducker Sacre bleu (a very interesting etiology there). Crap and crappola first introduced on television by James Garner in the Rockford files in the 70's. I guess he got it passed the censors thanks to the everlasting memory of Col. Thomas Crapper of "Water Closet" fame. Shinola crud and Hemmingway's "crut!" What in blazes?! I don't give a dime. Jumping Jupiter Ah Garbanzo beans! |

Subject: RE: BS: G rated swear words From: Hollowfox Date: 08 May 09 - 02:22 PM An exclamation of surprise: Oh My Sweet Fuzzy Ducklings! (This isn't as sugary as it sounds, if you were to meet the scary woman I got it from). And I seem to recall a passage in our own kytrad's autobiography Singing Family of the Cumberlands. Her father was plowing, and circumstances would not let him swear at to mule. So he roared out,"God bless your soul to Heaven!!" Sometimes presentation is everything. |
