I say "goodness" instead of wtf or damn or I don't know anything I might normally say in reaction to something slightly unpleasant/unexpected.
I say "dang" a lot instead of damn. "jerk" instead of bitch. "heck" instead of hell.
I've been working on "oh my" instead of "oh my god" because I spend more time around more religious people these days and if omg doesn't have to be my default, why not change it?
"shoot" instead of fuck or shit. "fricken" instead of fucking (I think fricken is funnier anyways and I usually would only use "fucking" for comedic reasons).
and as for asshole, bastard, bitch, cunt, dumbass, all that, I just use some scathing insult like moron or dummy or "your most intelligent son" (very sarcastically), just something to convey that they're being a jerk, don't have to cuss.
I try not to have swearing be my default, partly because I'm around kids super often, but also because I just don't need to swear. I don't mind swearing, but if I can just say shoot instead of whatever else might come out of my mouth, why not?

I have the mouth of a sailor.
Buuut I also have kids so I really really try and do better.
Ship instead of shit
Duck instead of fuck
And "for Fox sakes" ... you can probably figure that one out.
However when I am driving and some "Duck Witt" cuts me off and I feel like ripping them a new "bass hole", sometimes it's hard to remember to change certain words while I am hanging out the window flying the bird.
I would not think about it as much as substitute words, but more like thinking more about what you are feeling. If you say "I feel like shit" it has little meaning. If you say "I broke a promise with a friend." It carries more meaning. People also use "fuckin" a lot in speech. I am not offended by the word, but it seems to come more from people who have limited vocabulary. If you use it in every sentence, what is the point?
I have few people i know that uses other words instead of cussing and they sound like retards. We know they are cussing, and it's worse when they use some other word that almost sounds like the curse , either they are having a stroke or they are brain damaged somehow. Don't sound like a retard ! Speak up your mind, it's alright.

Wizard swears, and "fart_______" "Fartknocker" is a favorite, both as a name for someone, a term of endearment for my pet, and some ass who cut me off in traffic.
Idiot.
Fluffernutters.
Craptastic.
Crap on a cracker.
Ass... Assface, Assbutt...
And, while it contains a swearword, and I would not use this with kids present... "Shidiot." Like a Sh*tty idiot. Usually, it's reserved for either people on the news who commit crimes, or people who drive poorly... those who sideswipe me or cut me off or ride my bumper in traffic.I say
oh sugar
holy fudge cakes
And mother Fluffier
I don't know where that came from though lol and tbh I feel weirder saying that than the actual words, but itβs like I canβt say the original. Something else comes out lolFreaking, heck, goodness, merde, shoot, Dang, darv'it, and I'm sure there's more. I'm saving my swares for bad situations, like I'm preparing 'what the effing heck you effing creep' for getting sent a nude or something like that and 'ring your Dang Bell' for getting sideswiped by a bike. Replace the replacements in the examples.
I swear a lot. I have no problem swearing. I do think it's hilarious sometimes to use replacement words just to be ridiculous though. I tell people their being real jackalopes. I get very sick of these monkey fightin' snakes on this Monday through Friday plane! Yippy kay yay, Mr. Falcon! lol
I say "ah poop!" - especially when around my niece 🙈
I hardly cuss... sometimes the words, "crap" or "shit" will slip, but rarely. Only time I cuss is during hot, passionate, intimate acts with a SO lolCon sarn it! Dag nab it! LOL Just kidding.
In reality, I don't inhibit my use of swear words. I excel at them. :-)
Although, if I'm interacting with people, I try to be more academic and refrain from swearing."what the flim flam!"
It always gets me. I use it a lot!
I can't remember the last time I swore and/or used a curse word.
When I get upset I often say, "Gosh Darn!" "Ga'll Darn It!" "Well, I'll Be!"That Batman and Robin one... too funny lol... I'll say "f'in" at times as it can be thought of as freakin or fuckin when hear "are you f'in kidding me?" - but beyond that us WK's try to keep our language proper :)
I really don't, I just make sure I am not in an inappropriate situation for said F bomb. If I am REALLY in a pinch, I'll roll with the very milquetoast 'fiddlesticks'.
Lol, I definitely have some weird words to use when something is not going the way I want it to, some are:
(Pot) verdorie
Nondeju
Hela
Eikelbijters
Grafzooi
ShitzooiI usuallyonly cuss when I'm frustrated or angry. Or if I stub my toe lol. But the words just come out. So i don't have an alternative lol
I sometimes say words that aren't even words or sound familiar to a swear word, like flippers and fadoodle.
I cuss more than I should but if itβs fitting which it almost always is, the f bomb just flows naturally.
"Motherfitzer"
"Bull crap! "
"Fork you"
"Oh sugar"Now that can be a fun little exercise. Like I'll use alternate words like copulate for fuck and poopoo are feces for shit.
Oh! Christmas Trees! Lol... this was the first thing that came into my mind.
Crud, fudge, friggin, and I say cool beans even it something bad happens
Shoot, darn, freak, oh my goodness, oh man, witch, grrrrr
