I also use random words from different languages. The word "iske" has kinda become a word I use for lots of things. I think I just like saying it and sometimes I use it to replace swear words. Oh right! I sometimes will say "Baka!" instead of "Shit!" because 1) "baka" is super fun to say and 2) it usually follows after I did or someone did something stupid, so it seems fitting. I should learn some Irish swears though...

My friend used to call me that all the time back in middle school and high school. It was basically her nickname for me. She said it meant "stupid." Didn't know it was anything that bad.

Well...I'm not sure if it's *inherently* insulting, like "asshole" is in English, but it certainly is much stronger than "stupid" or "idiot" from what I understand.

"Stars and stones" and "pox and plagues" are swears I picked up from various fantasy novels. I'm also fond of "sithspawn" and "Hell's bells". "Hell's Bells" is a good one. You got that from Dresden I assume? I got one from sci-fi that I loved, but stopped using. Frak instead of fuck from Battlestar Galactica. Really want to get that one back up and running again. Also, I really need to watch that series again. I only caught a few episodes here and there, but I loved it.

Yeah, "stars and stones" as well. "Pox and plagues" (and a half-dozen others) come out of Tamora Pierce books.

I thin my go to is, "oh, fucking hell." But there are definitely a lot of Christian related ones. I don't know that I'll ever break em cause they're so cultural and saying polytheist things isn't always a smart decision for me, so I guess we'll just see with time.

We Buddhists have multiple hells for you to choose from! So if someone tries to give you a hard time for saying "hell" because you're a pagan, just tell them "I meant the Avici hell, not Dante's Inferno." Muwahahaha...

Jesus telling someone to go to Avici is some hardcore shit there. Yeah Buddhist hells are technically impermanent but dear god. The descriptions. THE DESCRIPTIONS OF WHAT HAPPENS AND FOR HOW LONG.
Why haven't I compared inhospitable dicks to Bres yet. What is wrong with me. That has been one of my favorite stories since I even started this whole thing. Even before it.

I had a fun one tonight! I've been slowly learning Irish and my one uncle is visiting from Gaoth Dobhair, and I wanted to show off, So I just grinned at him, and went: "Dia duit!"
Of course he, with this giant 'you-think-you're-such-a-clever-thing' grin on his face and goes: "Déithe's aindéithe's ár sinsir duit."
And then laughed as I tried to twist myself up coming up with what he just said.

I've taken to saying "dear sweet Lilith" for some reason. Otherwise I'm a fan "shit" and "fuck".

I get so shocked whenever anyone swears or talks about sex in front of me, but I do both of those all the time as long as I won't get in trouble for it. Usually I just say "fuck". sometimes "holy fuck" or "fuck you"

The full enunciation of anything including "fuck" and/or "fucking" just feels so... satisfying. Especially something clearly enunciated like "God fucking damn it." Or just biting the words out so they're clipped.
I swear like mad. I shouldn't be allowed around children.
But I do want to move away from 'goddamnit' and similar Christian-based swears, but it's so hard lol. I used to use Pernese and Dinotopia swears, at least for a short period then I stopped. If I watch enough MLP or read enough fanfiction, I might move to 'horseapples' and 'horsefeathers' for swears. That'd be nice I think.
... Shyit. That's also a fun way to enunciate that one. why am i hooked on enunciation?? even the word itself is super fun to enunciate right now.
