I've been on a minor personal campaign to try and train myself to substitute heirloom curses, like "Sugar!", "My father's beard!", or "Oh, pickles!" while playing video games, driving...situations where I usually am just uttering a reflex stream of "Fuck...FUCK, oh cool, AWESOME!", etc, etc.

So, Whitechapel: Open your pie-hole and give us some alternative exclamations. Help Americans to learn to swear properly, for the love of Pete.

(Bonus points for the first Old English linguistics type who posts an MP3 of how "Zounds" is correctly pronounced, cos I'm dying to know. ) ]]> Zounds!

That said, I do change up the swearing as much as possible. Fuckbag, shitballs, fuckchops, pisslips... they get some play. Listening to Chris Morris' Blue Jam years ago means I tend to accuse inanimate objects of being pedophiles or rapists from time to time. ]]> Zounds!

As opposed, of course, to the near ox, in a team of oxen.

Not a blue phrase, really, but excellent all the same.

Erm, I should also point out that the contraction "zounds" is not Old English, or even really Middle English (which is what I think you may mean by 'old') but I do believe, enters the language with Early Modern English in the 16thc, and as that was post Great Vowel Shift, it wouldn't sound much different than today's British English (in all its regional variation). I can check the OED if you really want the Official Word on 'zounds.' ]]> Zounds!

I say "tarnation" and "consarn it" from time to time. Once you start consciously replacing the "fucks" and "shits", it becomes quite fun. Because when you DO bust out the modern four-letter words, you've saved them up and you're saying them with conviction.

I love hipster slang from the 50's. "For you and me, baby, the chill is on." I SO want to break up with somebody by saying that someday. ]]> Zounds!

One of my personal favourites that I've come across recently is from Alan Moore's Ballad of Halo Jones. Instead of saying 'Jesus!' (presumably because in the future people have forgotten all about Christianity) they say 'Cheeses!'

Other than that, there aren't any others that come to mind. ]]> Zounds!

I generally try to offset my stellar vocabulary and sparkling wit with nice, fun, dirty curse words. I may actually get to the point where my words are so shiny that I forsake curses entirely, but that'll be some time off. The versatility of words like "fuck" is just too appealing, and playing around with them to create bizzare new curses (a longtime favorite - cuntwaffle - read it and try to stifle your immature laughter) is even more enjoyable. ]]> Zounds!

When I’ve seen Othello performed it was pronounced zoonds. But I’ve only seen it done by Americans.

In my last post I forgot to mention how I love to refer to things as “dreadfully awful” or “disgustingly awful”.

"Dio de mi madre!" or "Madre de dio!" with as thick a Castillian lisp as I can manage. I've gotten so it rolls out unplanned now.

A sausage restaurant opened near where I live called "Wurstkuche" which I'm currently adopting as an epithet pronounced "Worst Cooch".

"cockmonger" fitting insult for some.
"good glory almighty" when I get frustrated.
"Cheese" "Pickles" and the occasional "rotting potato" slip out.
"For greatest shame" when someone does something unthinkably stupid.

My standard cursing inventory is heavily weighted toward inventive blasphemies.

"Shitbag" is more of an unfavourable characterization than a serious insult, but it gains a lot of momentum in translation.
"Ty fry" or "Satan fry (insert optional target or direct at world in general)" looses its catchy rythms. Maybe it could be rephrased to something more musical.
"Fiends!" is perhaps the most common of them all, and has that nice victorian ring to it.
"The devil and his great-grandmother" as in "these days, everyone, the devil and his great-grandmother wants to be a webdesigner" has always fascinated me.
"Cad" is an insult in english as well, isn't it? I guess you could translate it for modern speakers - "bull's cock".
"Mare-flayer" might sound too archaic. "Well-pisser" has withstood the millenia much better. ]]> Zounds!

A favorite of mine is the exclamation "murder!" but not pertaining to an actual murder.

We invented "bonch" meaning taint or choade(it's regional, I know,) In high school. It's a satisfying thing to call someone. Try saying it.

"fucksticks" and "cuntbasket" are some local favorites. "fuckberries" makes a great expression of frustration.

I've heard the same etymology for zounds- as in "god's wounds," which is why i've always said zoonds. also, per inspector gadget, "egads" im pretty sure is descended from "ye gods." ]]> Zounds!

I have asked "Do I get a blowjob with that?" when confronted with excessive prices several times.

Hey I know some people from Trollwood! Fun!

Anyway, threadjack over. :-) I have no offerings better than those that have come before. Unless, I guess, you count "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh HORSESHIT!" in the Adam Sandler/Happy Gilmore delivery. I got quite a few looks at the bowling alley in my first-year bowling class with that one.

Which reminds me of the time my older brother called me a "Time burglar", meaning I was a waste of his time, which could have been spent doing important things, apparently.

I heard "Tide burglar", and thought he was claiming some kind of lunar superpowers on my behalf. ]]> Zounds!

I've heard "turd burglar!", which I also don't get. The exchange went something like this:

Friend: "Turd burglar!"
Me: "What's a turd burglar?"
Friend: "You're a turd burglar!"

I'm still mystified, over a decade later. ]]> Zounds!

"cunting" as an amplifier

"Sapristi!" When I was a kid I had some Goon Show recording on tape, and there was a moment when someone says "Sapristi! You Fool!" Which I adored, but never understood really, other than it was a general curse. Now, many, many years later and inspired by this thread I looked it up and found it's French and is a general light curse word like "For God's Sake" I may try to use it now. That's my entry for the heirloom, "Sapristi".

"Great Unicycling Christ"

@ HylianHearts - you said baca, from spanish for cow. Is that a hard C in the middle? Because it'd sound exactly like baka, which is a general Japanese insult meaning you're stupid.

Other Japanese curse that I've started using "mukatsuku" meaning "you're a pain in the ass" or "you're pissing me off" ]]> Zounds!
