Agnostics need an "exclamation word", just as some Christians can cry out "God! That was great"
Therefore I propose the word "Santa", as in "Santa! That was great"

"goodness me!" or "good grief!" - depending. also "faaaark!", "far east!" & "fuck that!" or "fuckin hell!". you see, i'm rather outspoken (learnt from aussies).

@frayedbear has a lot of explaining to do!

@Petter I didn't teach her those words. In fact I got so fed up at the guys at the panel beating shop across the road using fuck on everything that I would pick up a hammer and ask them to put their thumb on the concrete floor so that I could hammer it and discover what word they used when they really needed an expletive! The whimps never did.

@Petter And why are you automatically blaming me. @walklightly I have never met and only once or twice spoken to by phone.

@FrayedBear, i think he (Petter) does that to you because you react so beautifully ?

I borrow from my old man.... "Fuuuck Me!" or "JESUS H. CHRIST!" (Not popular with my christian friends.)

When I was a kid we said curse words like "mad dog backwards." Today I find people wanting to use a word "dog" for god. I'm old fashioned. I still say dammit, goddammit, and Jesus Christ. None of it is in praise.

Instead of saying "Oh God!" just say "No God!"
Instead of saying "Jesus Christ!" just say any fictional character's full name. Two that I like are "Boba Fett!" and "Harry Potter!"

Based on my experience "ohTom! seems to be quite popular. Try it you'll see.

We live in the Anthropocene epoch because our spoor is currently the most potent destructive force on Earth. Oh My Spoor seems a fitting expletive, or Oh My Shit.

Jiminy Crickets works for me.

. That's an ancient expression; how old did you day you were? ??

@Petter I don't actually use the term, but was just trying to come up with something neutral in response to the post.

@godef Shame. It reminded me of my youth!

@Petter hey! Avast with the "old" shit!

@AnneWimsey OY!

@Petter nostalgia - it's good for you.

I say 'Oh knickers'

Be off!

Oh smelly "k" is more offensive.

@FrayedBear eeeuuuww

@Amisja told you so.

I use fuck. (Oh my fuck! OMF!) I don't believe in a god, but i do believe in a fuck.

When i tried to stop using profanity, i used schmeg and smurf (from red dwarf & the smurfs) with E-gad! as my exclamatory interjection.

I'm just back to saying fuck mostly although my daughter asked why i say 'holy smokes' -- i hadn't noticed it becoming a part of my vernacular.

Iā€™m with you. I also use Shit, Crap, and Jesus-Fuck when things are shockingly bad.

@UUNJ Yes, I still use all those too. šŸ™‚

@UUNJ Jeeeeeebus H Keerist!
