My family had this conversation about an hour ago:
Gabe: I looked online at Target for 8 X 8 frames and they didn’t have…
Me: Dick?
Gabe: Dick.
Ian: Dick!
We’ve been trying to get better about our foul mouths and we’ve really made some progress, but not enough, apparently.
This makes me laugh at and with you!!! Wait ’til you’re in the mall with one or both of them and someone points a finger and SCREAMS…”THAT LADY IS REALLY FAT MOMMY!!!!!”
DOH!!!!
Tee-Hee-Hee-Hee
Just had a conversation about this very thing and using bad words in other languages insead, which lead to this web page that has bad words (some of them very bad) in a zillion languages.

I had really considered that when I realized that bad words in other languages were still unacceptable if you were around other people who happen to speak other languages. I guess I’m going to have to start using dorky exclamations, like “fiddlesticks!”
I find myself saying silly things like heck, goshdarnit (& both of those separate), Holy cow, crud amoung other really ridiculous things!
Using “Pants!” as an explitive isn’t so bad now after all, is it?
I know this is quite late & probably no one will read it, but I think I might try to say “oh barnacles”. This is Justin’s new thing, taken directly from SpongeBob.
