Sheesh - I just spent all night coming up with the "Naranja Nazareth." Oh, well. On the plus side, this isn't going to keep me from finally making "fetch" happen.

My dad, who came from transplanted "hillbilly" stock of Arkansas and was the first person in his family to graduate high school and go to college, used to say that anyone who used a swear word simply demonstrated their lack of intelligence because there was always a better, more couth word available to use to get the point across most exquisitely. I have, to some extent, however, much to my chagrin, adopted some of the habits of my young adult children....
For the record "fetch" has been a stand-in Mormon swear word since the late 70's. We all used it. I used it when I said I would never say the "F" word again after high school. I used "fetch" until November 2024 when Trump was announced the winner and I said the "F" word for the first time in 45 years
I was bad with language in high school. Actually got smacked up side the head by a teacher (back in the day when it wasn't an issue) and it was deserved.
Swear words are so overused that in some sense they have become meaningless. ThatтАЩs too bad. One well place swear word can really get attention/relieve stress where something else doesnтАЩt. My father very, very seldom swore. But when he did we would head for the hills.
It felt good. I haven't told anyone other than here but I did tell family with that record going for me it would take something insane to make me use that word (I laugh because I can't stop using it now, though always when I am alone)

Aw, holy heck! ;-D
I envy you your discipline. I have what some refer to as a pottymouth, especially when I am reading the news these days.

My profanity mostly occurs when I am by myself, reading about MAGA and their leader. ItтАЩs rather like letting the steam out of a tea kettle.

Yep!
Given your years of restraint, I imagine that "F" word erupted from your mouth with the white hot fury of a thousand suns.
