Title: Need Non-Profane Expletives
Post by: Mazeppa on September 19, 2004, 09:21:31 pm
I am a middle school teacher.  I've noticed a greater tendancy for a child to cuss, or come close to cussing.  I'm trying to model non-profane expletives.  I would appreciate any of your favorites, or links to actual sites of such things.

One rule:  any phrase that comes close to a cuss phrase cannot be used.  For example, "What the freak are you doing?" is inappropriate for my purposes.

Some example phrases I have used:
Great Hoogly-Moogly
Great Ceasear's Ghost
shpadoinkle
By the Seven Rings of Raggadorr
By my Manly Beard (I'm clean-shaven)
By the Orb of Thessela
By the Orb of Agamotto
crikey
Geez Louise
Gooie Kablooie


Thanks.

Many years ago the Philadelphia Flyers were clobbering the New York Rangers in a playoff series.... One game (might've been the last in the series) was tied with under a minute to play and Eric Lindross and John LeClair got a breakaway which ended with LeClair passing the puck across to Lindross who put it in the net behind Mike Richter for the win.

As Richter headed for the bench the camera was on him and even with audio to go along with the picture my eyes started to bleed from the violent stream of expletives coming from his mouth!

The announcers comment at the time was: "Now, what Richter's saying here is that he overplayed John LeClair..." and my three friends and I looked at each other and all said "Oh!  Is THAT what he said!?!"   :D

We've since realized that for some reason many athletes actually use John LeClair's name in vain when bad things happen....  Just read their lips and you'll see, too!

...And so to this day "John LeClair!" has become our favorite expletive.

I always called the first one "Son of a Motherless Goat".

Then, after watching BG too much, "Felgercarb" and "frak".

Others:

"Stinkin Buttwad"

"Dern tootin"

"ah crap"

"Mommick" means to screw something up bigtime...Akin to using the "f" word in certain situations. Example: "You really mommicked that car up when you wrecked".

Instead of calling someone a name:

"Mullethead" (Not after the hairstyle...after a  fish)

"dung-jumper" (for the real meaning change the "d" to a "b" and the "j" to an "h") probably not appropriate for your cause though. Although, alot of people think it means a hired hand on a dairy farm...aka an "idiot").

Try Henry Beard's "Latin for all Occasions" and Rose Williams "Latin Quips at your Fingertips"...they may not know what you said, but the research will do them good.

I don't think it was forgotten.  It's just not an expletive.   To Grok means to totally understand the thing being considered.
