[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I concur with the teacher. You should not say "darn" or "gosh", because they are too close to the "damn" and "God" that they replace. Anyway, they're boring. I tell my children to get a little creative with their swearing ersatz. "Oh my sainted pants!" - old classic "Blistering Barnacles!" - Tintin "Lumpish codpiece!" - Shakespearean (could mean limp penis) My 5 year old daintily says : "Oh my gracious goodness!" in such old lady tones, it's hilarious. At her age, I imitated my mother and swore out loud in front of my very proper teacher: "Merde merde merde!" The most probable reason is that the way middle school kids use it is in a disrespectful manner. Mr. Jay says, "Class, please line up." and they response "Oh my gosssshhh! Why?" With an eye roll and possible a crossing of the arms. [/quote][/quote]
