You know how we have the “cuss” words that if you say you get soap or a detention? Well who said, “I don’t like this word, I think it should be banned”? I think each household should be able to have their own prohibited words. I’d name a few but I’d probably get grouded by my mom. (She always checks my history and looks at every site)

Your mom “grouded” you in the past? Is that some kind of painful torture involving grout or spackle?
You could delete your history?? < shrugs >
Well, yeah, people do that - for example, my mom thinks the word that rhymes with “rap” is a bad word, but my cousins are allowed to use it. And I’ve heard some kids say the S-word around their parents; I think we all agree on the meaning, but we don’t necessarily agree on the “bad” part.
There’s no such thing as cussing. It’s how people ruin words. Hell: A place where Satan lives. Used after what the Bitch: A female dog. People call others this name Ass: An animal. Gluteus maximus Jackass: A donkey. People call others this name Gay: happy

I believe that we may have gotten Grahmster grouded. (tortured with grout and spackle by his mother) Oh pumpkin! (These guys recommend using pumpkin in place of profanity: http://www.nocussing.com/curriculum.html
A pejorative is still a pejorative, and utilizing creative substitution or “new” words is still using profanity…pumpkin does sound much milder than most profanities, however…)

- Touchè. It also annoys me how words like “retarded,” which are on a serious medical condition, become something that you use in a sentence such as: “Dude! That video game is retarded!”

I agree. I hate it when people pop off a “that is so gay” or “retarded” as acceptable ways of speech or as profanity alternatives. Not only do these idioms abuse the English language, they are akin to any other racial or group slur.
We should all say meep. Meep - Wikipedia
Luckly, I did this at my dad’s computer. saved my life!

And he wouldn’t know that you used it?
Just say bleep in place of whatever you need to say. Once upon a *bleep* in a *bleep* far away there was a *bleep* named *bleep*. She had really long *bleep*. Why do you keep bleeping me? Rapunzel’s not too mature of a story is it?
I made my own swearwords: Mother fudger - you can guess what is means. Fudge - ditto above. Chocolate - word that rhymes with rap/hit… There are some more, but I won’t detail them. When I swear I sound poncy and upper class, so I generally refrain from doing so…

I mostly swear in my head and in front of people that wouldn’t care…
Meep is good. I usually say “spoons” in place of anything else. I have never known why…
I just cuss without replacements
