It is tricky 'cos swearing is so satisfying. THAT's why we HAVE such good swear words. <br /><br />I'm sure in the spirit of the Flaps boy the best ideas will come at the least appropriate time.<br /><br />Almost worth going to church for. Maybe I'll do a Harold and Maude and start gate-crashing funerals for inspiration. Could be plenty of Hells Bells and Buckets of Blood there. Lots of 'b's.<br /><br />I do like arse burger tho'. <br /><br />I'm wondering if Cup Sucker has any history? Could I look this up on Smackmyfanny.com?MadameSmokinGunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369302102195138989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588974102939585635.post-76409633474418881252010-03-21T13:27:16.987-07:002010-03-21T13:27:16.987-07:00I've been thinking about this all weekend (no,...I've been thinking about this all weekend (no, I don't have anything better to do, thank you). Words that sound like swear words but aren't - it's darned tricky. Unless one resorts to saying things like 'Cup sucker'. Have you seen the episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm when Larry David's restaurant opening descends into a massive swearathon? I recommend it if you haven't, mainly for cuddly Jeff Garlin's 'Jism! Jism! Grandma! Jism!' <br />Not helpful, huh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588974102939585635.post-77694112141641361902010-03-19T18:46:36.840-07:002010-03-19T18:46:36.840-07:00I've just spent the evening watching clips of ...I've just spent the evening watching clips of Malcolm Tucker from The Thick of it so I'm right out of non-fucky expletives right now.<br /><br />One of dd1's first spontaneous phrases was "Fuck's Sake" said with spot on exasperation whilst surveying all the books she had pulled of two shelves. We were in the company of my folks who are also partial to swearing and we laughed on that one for ages.<br /><br />Well I sucked on a bit of dark chocolate and thought a bit harder and found one from our family vocabulary. Arse burger. As in "I've had an arse burger of a day" or as an expletive on its own. Apparently Dilbert said this at some point back in Mr G's comic strip-reading past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588974102939585635.post-18445691741910276932010-03-19T17:10:26.427-07:002010-03-19T17:10:26.427-07:00Hmmnn - I asked Minx today where she'd picke...Hmmnn - I asked Minx today where she'd picked up her stone age and Easter Island head knowledge and she said 'Dum Dum - want gum gum' - from 'Night at the Museum'.<br /><br />Oh.MadameSmokinGunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369302102195138989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588974102939585635.post-44452246439964424742010-03-19T01:40:38.445-07:002010-03-19T01:40:38.445-07:00When I was a child my mum used to use the phrase &...When I was a child my mum used to use the phrase 'hells bells and buckets of blood' (sometimes abbreviated to 'hells bells'). For some strange reason I found this far more terrifying coming out of the mouth of my meek and mild mother, than any of the very blue obscenities that emitted from my dad. You see, context is everything. Maybe you should start wearing tweed skirts and sensible shoes.<br /><br />Flaps is good. I like that one. Can't think of any other alternatives. I must be far too grown up.<br /><br />Ds1 is at that age when he's trying to find alternatives to swear words under my frowning gaze..so far he's only come up with shhhhhhh....izzles (said very slowly while I look at him with that 'don't you dare swear in public look'). Trouble is it just sounds like the dog out of Charlie and Lola, which isn't so cool for an 11 yr old. <br /><br />Ds2 doesn't bother with all that. He uses the originals with the full confidence of a child who knows his mum loves him, whatever he says.<br /><br />Grow up? Nah. I think you're allowed to have the occasional sensible home educating blog post. Even crazy people have sensible moments.Big mamma froghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006397435397636499noreply@blogger.com
