Fri 31 August 2007 - Clean swear words

Scott Adams has been making up his own cuss phrases. [Warning: coarse language]

I’ve been pondering what is the most abusive but non-swearing language one can use. The kind of thing you can say if, say, a car driver cuts you off or almost mows you down in a spectacularly stupid way, but your kids are present and you don’t want to be seen actually swearing.

There’s a number of Haddock-esque terms you could use, but so far I think the one I’m happiest with (and I know will spring to mind when needed) is moron.

  • Long-time readers of my blog/email list will recall Moron of the Week, which highlighted moronic car drivers.
