I worked with a guy who would exclaim, “Cheese and rice!” because it sounded like Jesus Christ. I guess he thought it was a clever substitute.

I was also amazed at how the guys I worked with could and would curse a blue streak while at work but then talk like perfect gentlemen in front of their wives and kids.
 
Not as bad as my Swiss Identity Card: Niederlassungsbeweiligung. Very easy to pronounce, really!

That’s why I never took to cussing. I’d have a hard time keeping distinct ways of talking separate from each other.

A short while back, my brother told me the story of how John Paul II, when he would do something such as stub his toe, he would say “Thank you, Jesus, for loving me this way.” 😄 Being somewhat accident prone, I have many opportunities to put this into practice. I’ve been trying. It doesn’t always come out that way, though. 😜

By the time you finish, you won’t be angry anymore. And people will be looking at you like you’ve lost your mind.
 
The girls at my university sometimes use bad language just matter of fact. Since I’m older, I’m a little scandalized by it since they didn’t speak like that 10 years ago.

Both engineers and rock musicians can, and often do, use the F word as every part of a sentence.
It’s an acquired skill.

My mother used to tell an old joke about a kid who dropped his Cheez-its all over the sidewalk and yelled, “J**** C****, G** Almighty” and was overheard by the nun who came bearing down on him yelling, “WHAT DID YOU SAY?” And the scared kid replied, “Cheese and crackers got all muddy.”
 
Apparently, so do the U.S. Marines…a fact I will not be thanking them for. At Christmas, I had to remind my son more than once to watch his mouth. (And no, he wasn’t like that before he went in. )

So I can curse like a sailor at times, which I will admit is not very ladylike at all…any ideas for funny/ cute things I can say instead?

Just cease to curse and speak sincerely when it will not be uncharitable - it need not be humorous or cute, as St. Paul wrote:
Colossians 3:8
But now put you also all away: anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, filthy speech out of your mouth.

Better stop for now. Too much revealing of what kind of person I am. Sigh…
 
I have no doubt that the Marines swear like sailors, or considering that they’re Marines, better than sailors 😃 but they also need to be very respectful around moms, senior officers, the public…so being able to turn off the cussing is a skill that the young ones need to learn.
 
i remembered a few more of my favorites:
Golly Moses
Good golly, Miss Molly
Good Gravy Wavy
Geez Louise
Cthulu! or Judas! instead of you-know-who’s name

You are aware the Marines are part of the “Department Of The Navy” so the cussing is about the same actually. Not a good thing, and can become a bad habit really quick.
 
The Marines object strenuously if you equate them with the Navy. I have several Navy folks in my family and my husband’s uncle is a former Marine so I am very schooled in what not to say.
