| What Do You Use As A Replacement Curse On Strip?
Do you use some nonsense word for disappointment on strip.
Personally I have begun muttering "fiddles!" rather liberally. I have yet to hear any women blush at my reckless use of such a foul word.

| I just tap my mask and say "dumb." Although I have been known to throw out the occassional "sheisse(sp?)".

| I've recently become proficient with clenching my hands and looking upwards and saying something like "Aahh, eeah, daaahh, bwaaaa". Someone told me it looked like I was copying Mr. Incredible when he picked up his car near the beginning of the movie...

| Depends on how bad I feel about the touch. If it's minor, "Agaba..." If it's something a little worse, "Gevishnavesh" And if it's really bad, "Tefachta!"

| Replacement? 
I usually just swear. I've encountered no problems, except when Ms. Everson presides over the bout...

Although I often use the Swedish word, "Fahn," which was taught to me by a Swedish guy who fenced epee on my college team.
He was hell to go drinking with--he'd always refill your glass before you'd emptied it, so it was really hard to keep track of how much you'd had....

| I like the Japanese kuso or chikuso. I also use 'aiya!' for a disappointing action.

| Swearing in another language is completely retarded, unless you speak the language fluently, and even then it's pretty dumb.
Enter the 16 yo. Adi-phile with his baseball hat on backwards (under his mask) muttering scheisse to himself, on the way back to his guard line. Yep, you too could be that cool. I couldn't, but you could.
Accept the f-bomb... there is no substitute.
Don't just say it. Mean it. And be creative...

| I use .... 'Oh Fuss and Bother!!".... and if pressed.. "Ah Fussss!!!!"
Normally I don't swear at all -- I found it was a bad habit when I was started to use F*** this and F*** that a lot in my language. Then I noted a friend of mine who never swore.
One day (this was back in college) in the chem lab, I watched about 2 weeks of his work of work in making glassware and setting up an experiment come crashing down. I was aghast. He stood there, clenched his fists and muttered "Da*nn......" He got more mileage and heartfelt meaning out of that one word, and most people get from an hour of F**ing conversation. So I intentionally tried to cut back on my swearing and leave it for when I really wanted to express some quite extraordinary emotion.
And doing something stupid, getting scored on is not worth it. "Oh Fuss and Bother!" with the subtext "Man, I'm doing to have to work on that....." | |

| Snap!
I dont use it, but lately I have heard people using the exclamation, "SNAP" when something unexpected hits them. I think it sounds kinda snappy as a deleted expletive. | |

| I either say "Bloody Hell", "Curses", or "Bollocks" on the strip.
I don't attempt to use any accent for the UK slang other than my own American one.

People must hear you and think:
" wow, he's clever like those chaps from Liverpool who were banging round here a few years back... pity about the one with specs"
Stop that, people will think you are a ren fairy.

| Most of what I say is un-inteligable if I meant to swear and decide not to. I usually go ahead and say damn or hell, most often damning it (all of it) to hell.
If I reeeeally screw something up I'll just say, "Figures," and walk back to my en guarde line.

| I just cuss. I've never been carded for it in my life. I dunno if the ref was incompetent, or if I wasnt loud enough. Sometimes, a nice "god f*cking d*ammit" is needed, especially when you really mess up.

| I think the worst I ever did when swearing was when I was working on a program for like two weeks and something didn't work the way it was supposed to after like 20000 revisions. I started trying to swear and was literally so frustrated I couldn't actually get anything out. About 20 unintelligible syllables came out before i settled down enough to let out one angry F***!
