      I watched Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam. DAG NABIT!
      I used it as a “safe” swear word. Still use it. My wife asked me where I got this Dag Nabit thing. She was raised an SDA, no Saturday morning cartoons for her.

    Such boring conversations and exclamations . . . we gotta do better than that.

    How about, “Oh Devil!” or “Oh Satan!”

    We can’t take the Lord’s name in vain, but no reason not to take the other guy’s name in vain!

    I’ve heard of a professor at an Adventist university who liked to say, “Oh, Pork!”

    And regarding “Rats!” There once was an Uncle Arthur’s Bedtime story where a character said that word, and got a good talking-to by an angel (For those who have these tomes, look up “Angel of the Books.”

    Ho Ho – mostly the US versions. The Aussie ones are even more amusing, given we are a nation of cussers with brit origins – I always remember my grumpy SDA minister grandpa (of germanic origin – boy you wanna understand germain swears) and his work arounds – part Aussie coloquialisms – thank goodness I don’t worry about that crap anymore!
