What do you say when you want to say something "bad" - but want to maintain the illusion of sounding like a lady or gentleman?

I can be pretty creative without being obscene. I had a history teacher back in high school who told us about the early presidential candidates, and how colorfully they 'cussed' each other, and none ever used a dirty word. After that, I tried to be more creative and colorful. Usually the people who annoyed me the most were too illiterate to be able to figure out what I had called them, lol.

I love what your history teacher said. I have said for a long time we have lost the ability to really curse. At one time it wasn't just four letter words. They were really interesting and made you think about whether you had been insulted or not.

Depends on what or who happened! :D I usually say crap or biscuit eater...."reeeeeaaaaaally" fits the bill for lots of things too. Being a southerner...Bless his/her heart comes out frequently as well.

Oh...and I've perfected the classic silent eye roll.
