    Family Swear Words Part 2: Old Timers

    Anyone using archaic swear words that were taught to you by your old, outdated, crazy, embarassing parents?  You should have seen the look on some 16 year old's face in a Mc Donald's when I yelled, "Balderdash! That's total Horsehockey!!"  for my order taking ten minutes to make.

    Tarnations
    Horse Pucky
    Round Heels

    Loop-legged ( drunk )
    Skiddly-windin ( sent askew)
    Catty-corner ( diagonally opposing direction)
    Catty-wampus ( sent askew)
    pole-cat ( skunk )
    son of a sea biscuit.
    fidddlesticks.
    (sometimes, I use my own made up phrase, "fiddlesticks and feces.") I also know the word for feces in several languages and will repeat them all in a row, rapid-fire. The best one is the french word, which does not sound like a curse, unless spoken properly.
     
    I can't repeat here the ones my mother could use, either singly or in a grouping. She could make a sailor blush.

    I love "horsehockey." I mean, what's so horrible about "horsepuckey" anyway? LOL

    I already outed myself as a dorky "swearer."

    Fiddle faddle

    Gosh darn it!

    Dad blast it!

    CRIMINY!

    Good Grief! (guess I'm a child of the 60s, eh?)

    I've even been known to say JEHOSAPHAT!

    And well, this isn't old timey unless you are from Ireland:
    (and it's really swearing, too)
    Feckin' eejit!!

    Lately I've been calling other drivers "Turkey butt." [:-]

    You can make up great swear phrases in Gaelic (Irish) and no one knows you are calling them a pig's arse. Hone na muc!! You can use it in a sweet voice, like, "Awww, what a sweet little hone na muc!" [sm=proud.gif]

    But you look Nice in White but you look like Hel-en Brown
     
    When you're older 'n dirt you know it's pretty bad when some son of a sea cook is so dumb they couldn't pour pee out of a boot if instructions were written on the heel!
     
    heckfire
    hellacious
     
    it's hard to think of specific examples because ... *rubbing toe in said dirt* I DO talk like that all the time and half the world makes fun of me for it.  Well that's just fine & dandy with me!

    A german curse is Schweinhund. Literally, pig-dog. It sounds funny in English but is was a harsh insult, about as good as calling someone an m-f.

    Gee willikers,

     
    I say that. [:D] And "Good golly, Miss Molly"  I frequently start to type it on this forum or another dog forum, and then I erase it 'cause it sounds so dorky. [&:]

    One of my favorite sound clips is Chevy Chase cursing out his boss in Christmas Vacation. It's so classic!

    I think my personal "cursing" style is an amalgam of The Beverley Hillbillies (my mother comes from funny old Scottish stock), the Beave, and Batman and Robin.

    Holy frickin' moley, dagnabbit!

    I'll say " Oh geezy peezy"  and the kids answer back "lemon squeezy" 
    I try very hard to substitute silly words for the real ones I'm thinking. [8|]
