Ever Want to Swear Without Actually Swearing?

Face it, we all have that moment when something happens and you accidentally let one slip. Usually it's in front of someone as well. The last thing you want to do is swear in front of kids so you try to substitute something for it and either it just sounds weird or it still sounds like a curse.

While TV has changed it's rules for what is an acceptable expletive, most of us don't have that freedom, especially if kids are around. So rather than mutter through, the folks that write 'Clean Fiction' have come up with a healthy list of approved “Euphemisms” to replace cursing or taking the Lord’s name in vain.

Next time you want to curse just use one of these...
