In today’s vernacular, saying these words draws more attention to the fact you’re trying to use profanity, and is also incredibly corny. It is now widely accepted that cursing does not imply someone is bad natured, uneducated or temperamental. I have more respect for those who just say the words they truly want to say, even in professional settings, as long as you’re justified in using them.

I used to have a coworker who would regularly say “Sugar Honey Iced Tea” anytime anything bad happened and I found that so annoying that I hope that person gets hit by a bus.
Crapshoot is a reference to the game craps. It’s not really avoiding saying any curse words.
OBSCENITY!!!
I had a religious boss do this regularly. I told him to just say the word because in my head I know that’s what you mean to say.
So when you say “frick” I’m saying “fuck”. I told him that he’s NOT doing anything else than to look like he’s trying to cover up his true intentions.
I had to find another job shortly thereafter.
Is this true?
Well crap, I say these words all the time. Gosh darn it. Well shoot, I’m never going to stop saying it gosh darn it!
Just say you don’t have kids
Agreed. Intentionally avoiding swearing just makes you sound childish.
