Unless you are shameless about F'in abd C'in, you need a fallback swearword. Enough to raise awareness that you are pissed, but vaguely funny to disarm the situation a bit.
Well I do.
I pinched ARSE from J.May, which I like, but BUGGER works for me...just a nice balance between rude and OTT.
Whats yourn?

OH COCK.......usually works for me, again pinched from the James May person, who I am a fan of :-)
BUGGER, as you say is also useful, I think Hugh Grant must take some credit for that.

You can’t beat a good BOLLOCKS!
A fine English word dating back to the Anglo-Saxons.
Bugger should rank higher on the rude scale given what it means.

I find the anguished Charlie Brown "AAARRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!"is the only expression that gives me the release provided by a good swear.
"Dearie me" suffices for minor situations.
I'm so sick of pornography. Every time I see it I shake my fist at it.
