What are the alternative words you use to avoid saying the standard swear words?

My friend is saying 'bhen-stokes', alternative for the Hindi translation for sister-fu**er which is bhenc**d.

And I have been using the same word for all of my interactions in which I use the word. Although I have been trying to become clean of all the swear words for the last 4 to 5 months.

It does not look good, I have found. It is counted as provocative, impolite, and many more things. And people actually go away from you. I myself have found that I have been going away from my friends who used too much of swear words.

Not really. I use curse words only in front of people I know and are comfortable with it.

A standard method to replace curse words can be using sarcasm:

For example, you have to submit an assignment asap. There are 2 reactions
1. Arre bc (equivalent to "shit man")
2. Ah yes, the game of "submit your assignment or lose marks" begins once again.

I will be using these from now on.

I've only gone as far as "son of a biscuit eating witch". Otherwise i unfortunately have no filter. Unless im around respectable people (like my parents)

[Asker]

Biscuit eating witch!!! That's amazing. Creativity at its peak. I need to learn such new words. They are helpful in any given situation.

I thought Ben Stokes was an English Cricketer!

[Asker]

😅😅😅No Ben, but Bhen (sister) in Hindi.

[TommyMountainFigure]

It's VERY close though... It makes me wonder if his parents have a wicked sense of humour?

[Asker]

If they were from India, then for sure! But Ben is a common and amazing name outside of India, I have found.🙂

[TommyMountainFigure]

Cricketing families though? Even English ones know India very well. There is this very close bond between India and England through Cricket. Probably because of the Empire.

I use “ROCKS!” instead of “FUCK!” sometimes.

[OlderAndWiser]

Mofo instead of mother fucker.
