    Plus kids will find a way. Our english teacher didn’t want us to say ‘shit’, but to use ‘sugar’ instead.

    There was a lot of ‘bullsugar’ and similar in that class.

      I remember that the vice principal of our Christian high school was annoyed with us saying ‘gosh darn’, and made the mistake of telling us, “If you’re going to say ‘gosh darn’, you might as well say ‘god damn’, because that’s what you really mean, and the Lort knows your heart.”

      … We all just started flat-out saying ‘god damn’ like we were told.
