What do you say when you want to say something "bad" - but want to maintain the illusion of sounding like a lady or gentleman? Or something it's okay for your kids to repeat in public?

I've heard "sugar"

Amazon's minister recommends using "peanut butter"

"dag nab it"

"forget you babe/bud" - maybe that should be changed to "forgive you babe/bud"?

I'm a new yorker, but heard that southern's say
"Bless your heart"

Church Lady from SNL used "Isn't that special?"

Sugar, honey, ice tea!

My class instructor always says "Perfect". I usually say "Niiiiiiiiice", really stretching it out!

Shucky darn!

Oh, my!

I taught my kids to say "God Bless Your Heart"!

Shut the front door!

all peaches and cream

I call them 'pookie-poo'
