Acceptable expletives
Deozaan:
It's a good point: since when did Pete become an expletive? I love this explanation!

I hope that explanation was a joke. It tells the exact date and time that phrase was first said but then it says there is no written record of it ever happening? :-\ :huh:
Deozaan:
As someone who has never purposely said a "cuss" word in his life, I have decided that my favorite expletive replacer is "Smurf." I was trying explain to jgpaiva (if I recall correctly) how silly the F-Word is because it doesn't really mean anything, and how silly it is that people get offended by it, so to present a hypothetical situation I asked "What if everyone just said a silly word, like 'Smurf' when they wanted to cuss?"
"Smurf" is just such an ambiguous word like the F-Word that I tried to illustrate how any other word in its place completely changed the response you get from saying it.
Not long after that, I was having troubles with Windows Vista and it made me so very mad that for the first time in my life I really felt like saying some terrible things. Now App101 has a "welcome back" quote in the DC IRC channel of me saying the smurf word a lot. :-[
Darwin:
Smurf you, Microsmurf. I don't give a smurf about smurfing Vista, you mothersmurfing bunch of smurfs! Smurf off back under the rocks that you crawled out from under and smurf yourselves. Smurfing amateurs...
:P Yup. I feel better. Off to grab another smurfing beer...

We should all take this to heart. In future, when something goes wrong, it's Smurfy's law!
