Things you'd say instead of cussing...

#124
tri papirnate maramice (three paper towels) or tri polja mandarina (three fields of mandarine) instead of tri p***e m******e (three mother's pussys)

and

ćaća ti lozu grizo (may your father eat some grapevine) instead of croatian version of "go to hell"

sorry, no english subs for profanities xD

I either curse or skip that part al together.
To me, replacing a curse word with something else is meaningless. We all know the intend of what you are saying it, so why hide it? The words are just that, words, they are not offensive. The meaning of you context is what can be offensive, doesn't mater if you replace it with "fake curses."

I think Louis CK said it best. I will not quote him directly, but along it's along the lines of:
By replacing an offensive word with a different word you are putting the offensive word in the listeners head. You are making the listener say it in their head. Take responsibility and say it yourself, don't make us say the words you can't say.

Agree.

Besides, exchanging the word can eventually get you out of cussing and/or keep your kids from learning cuss words too early. As a kid, and even now, when I say "Geez" or "shoot", I don't mean the words they came from and most folks who hear them don't think so either. they are more polite.

Politeness is not some thing I'll toss away quite so easily.
