I am giggling so very hard at this. It's so much funnier to see them laid out this way and you've given me so many new people to read, so thanks!
ReplyDeleteHoly Criminy, that's one heck of a list (oh, and "holy criminy" would be the tops of mine, for sure!) I feel so far removed from blogland (having been lost in a mixed media portal for a while), you have given me some great blogs to check out - for which I am most grateful. On top of that - I've got some new things words to throw out when needed! LOL!
ReplyDeleteLove it. I tend to say naughties when I'm under extreme stress, try not to but do. Sue me. I'll print these out and highlight my favorites that will be easy enuf for me to recall when needed and I'm pretty sure they'll be needed before my time on this earth ends, lol
ReplyDeleteCheese & rice! Laid out like that, these substitutions are even funnier. Thanks for including Miss M's little spark of genius :)
ReplyDeleteSidenote - Miss M was being snarky (as only a tween can be) and I said, "Don't be a clever dick!" That was her - DONE. She laughed so hard at me for that archaic phrase I resurrected from the 1600s. Clever dick! That wasn't rude when I was a kid!
