Then there is this, from my one of my all time favorite movies, Ghostbusters.

Mother pus bucket! Bill Murray AKA Dr. Peter Venkman

Another oldie I use to hear was "fiddlesticks"

There was a lady on the raido who used to occasionally say "Mother Flower!" It always caught me off guard as I was seriously expecting to hear something else.

After six years in the military and over thirty in theatre, I've developed a fairly colorful vocabulary, but I've noticed that I've used some "expletives" so much that they don't mean anything anymore. I've had a few cases where I couldn't think of anything strong enough to say at the moment, so something like "darn it" came out of my mouth.

What's been really fun for me a number of times is being in a scene shop (with guys who cuss all the time) when something happened, and I'd say something like "gosh darn it." The looks on their faces were priceless.

I have not read the entire thread, sorry, but I assume someone already mentioned "frak" (from Battlestar Galactica)?

Another option is "Sweet Biscuits" as below:



You may also use "Sweet Biscuits and Gravy" for extra emphasis.

Ya know, the middle finger (The Bird) is not used in Europe. They make a fist and insert the thumb between the index and middle fingers. Ya know the old "I gotcha NOSE" trick we play on kids? Don't do that in Europe! LOL!

My kids have pointed out I use "Frickin'" a lot. Usually as in "Oh my frickin' god, I can't believe just dropped that!"

Sorry, that didn't work. Try this:

I love saying old style, mild oaths. I say, "Fiddlesticks," almost daily. My daughter has taken to replying with, "Sticks of the fiddle!"

I also love a good, "Gadzooks!"

And like imgic I've been known to use, "Great Googly Moogly."

Another one I use a lot is, "Land o' Goshen!"

Sometimes I'll dredge up the occasional, "Willikers!"

I use all these mainly kidding around in mock surprise because if I do something stupid to actually hurt myself I usually either say, "ouch!" or, "Aaa!"

I used to say the f word about 3 times per sentence but that ole time religion done fixed me of that.

About as bad as it gets is, "stupid moron" when I'm driving, but if only everyone was a perfect driver like me that wouldn't be necessary.

I'm fond of "Dig Dangit" "Darnit" "Crap" and "Heck"

I'm surprised that everyone lumps swearing and cursing together with obscenities and scatological terms. The latter aren't cursing at all. They're just crude.

In Italy the middle finger is largely used as an "offensive" gesture, the "gotcha nose" gesture is exactly the...gotcha nose gesture! it is a joke for the children, I never known different meanings of that. I don't know in the rest of Europe.
The photo you posted is the great Alberto Sordi and he's doing a "salame" wich is an "old school" gesture, it is rarely used now.

I am Italian and I have to say a few words about this video,
first, it is sad to me to see those people who continue to promote that stereotypical Italian characters, in the clothes, gestures etc...
Sadly, italian image in the world is corrupted by the mafia stuff and movies like "il Padrino" etc... who shown a little part of Italy, the rural south (a stereotypical rural south...), as the guy in the video does
To give you an example, it is as if the image of the average American in the world was taht of the "redneck", or, as in the 40's, the african american image with the big lips and trumpet. Same thing.

Dougini posted a photo of Alberto Sordi.
He was a great actor and most of her characters were hilarious because he consciously over exaggerated the 1950's average Italian stereotypes.
Another great actor who made a similar thing was Paolo Villaggio, with his character "Ugo Fantozzi" made jokes and criticism of the 1960's/70's average man of the northern Italy, and a great social satire.

I use German a lot. With all the fricatives and hard sounds, it's great.

My Great Aunt Lena cussed a lot, but said it was blackgardening, so it was okay. But you NEVER take the Lord's name in vain.

There is a webcomic called "PS238" about children who have superpowers;

http://ps238.nodwick.com/comic/12072006/

Two of the characters are potential villains (one hands out "minion application forms" to people he likes)
"Zodon," one of the future villains was swearing so much, they put a chip in his head that random words would come out whenever he tried to swear.
When he gets really upset, it comes out as a string of musical theatre.
