From my non-swearing Mormon friends: \*Cheese and Rice! Mother Bear! Bull Shirt!\* I’ve always marveled at some folks self control during moments of pain, terror and surprise. ---

Well, there was this Pit thread back in 2002 or so in which the OP articulately (in screenplay form, actually) ranted about trying to buy a fridge that didn’t have an ice-maker. His _"What the fucking fuck?!_" just about killed me, but the supporting context was a must. ---

An irreverent former coworker of mine (a genteel late middle-aged lady with a mouth that would make a stevedore cringe) said things like “Christ on a crutch!” and “Fuck a duck!” at work. To this day, “Fuck a duck!” is one of my go-to exclamations when something goes wrong. ---

How very touchwarming!” I’m hoping it’ll catch on… ---

This thread has me laughing so hard, I can barely see through my tears. My contributions: “Ye gods and little fishes!” “Jesus Henry Christ playing basketball with the saints on a glass bicycle!” For myself, when something is bad, I’ll say it “sucks large duck eggs.” ---
