The great observer of American Language, H.L.Mencken once wrote
that really great colorful swearing had been on the decline since The Civil War.
He wrote that in 1944. Coincidently, on today's Yahoo page they
featured a "Top Ten" list of words that could help you brighten-up your cussing.
Of course these words are quite lame, and Yahoo proves once again that
it has NO Clue as to whats REALLY hot and whats not hot.
The G-Man on the other hand, will be offering up his own list of colorful
words that may or may not get you"Expletive Deleted"!!
YAHOO'S LIST
1.) Bejabbers.
2.) Consarn ...
3.) Dad-Sizzle
4. )Thunderation
5.) Great Horn Spoon
6.) Snails....
7.) Gosh-All Potomic
8.) G. Rover Cripes
9.) By St. Booger and all the Saints at the Back Door of Purgatory!
10.) Jumpin Jiminetti
G-MANS'S LIST
1.) By The Jesus! ( Jesus wouldn't like his name changed to...Jabbers)
2.) God Damn It? (God prefers Yahweh) Yahweh Damn It!
3.) Dick-Weed! (I just LOVE saying that)
4.) Balls!!! ( appropriate for ANY occasion)
5.) Great Caesar's Ghost! ( Perry White? Clark Kent? C'mon...)
6.) Shit! Piss! Fuck! ( Pick any, they're interchangeable)
7.) God Damn Mother Fucker! (When your REALLY mad!)
8.) Jesus H. Christ! ( His middle name was Hymen)
9.) Fuck YOU and the horse you rode in on! ( hehehehe)

You know? I've often wondered why I yell 'Jesus H. Christ' when frustrated or angry ... at least I know what the H. stands for now ...
LOL! Jesus H. Christ in a pinafore works for me. Also fuck 'em and feed 'em fish heads. I got that off your favorite zen chick and mine.
i feel a bit bad for the horse....just saying...as he has little say in all this....

I am a fan of "C" words. I find they are not used enough in American English.
Don't EVEN get me started!
You forgot Judas Priest!!
I don't know where it came from but I know my grandpa used to say that when he was really mad or frustrated.
Oh, you brought back memories of my father, Galen. He rarely swore, but Jesus H. Christ was pulled out at appropriate times - like hitting a finger with a hammer or stubbing a toe. For really really annoying times he was know to say, "Gawd Damn!" He drew out the word God. Always made us kids laugh (and run!) :)
SOB is still one of my favorites, sometimes preceded by God damn.
Fuck is my word! Mostly because Now I say it rather than do it! (Hate 55) and because it was such a bad word growing up, but I am really getting attached to the "dig weed" yeah I like it thanks gman! I always liked the late and great fellow blogger buffalo dick too!
Hate auto spell too --- dick weed

Cocksuckingmotherfuckingsonsofbitches!
Yes it's all one word Motherfucker!
9 works for me... :)
Once my sister said "Jesus Christ" and my dad, quite a ways off, said "WHAT???!!" Oh my, I thought she was in for a WHOOPIN'! My blood froze - truly. In our house, the 3rd commandment was NOT to be broken. She said without missing a beat "Jeepers Creepers" My dad really hesitated and gave her the eyeball, but she didn't skip a beat.
I was so impressed.
