What do you say when you want to say something "bad" - but want to maintain the illusion of sounding like a lady or gentleman?

My Dad never swore around us children. I always respected him most for that. As a result, my "curseword" is "Stinky Feet" People look at me oddly for it, but it works for me! :) My Mother in law uses "peaches" or "piffle" LOL

We weren't allowed to say anything close to cussing. Couldn't even us the initials such as B.S. I grew up saying "crumby buttons". Don't even know where it originated as it wasn't something my mother said. Dad swore like a drunken sailor so we didn't repeat anything he said. Ann in TN

Let's see - I've substituted fudpuckers, fiddlesticks, Gd bless (in the same tone as Gd d...) I've also used "hot dog!" for something good.

I've also used "Duly Noted" in place F** you..
