Anyone else use them? Heard any good ones?

I'm fond of "Son of a Bullet Bill", as well as "Cheese and crackers!"

At my old supermarket job, "shiitake mushrooms" was an in-jokey one, so perhaps now I should think of some sort of clothing-related minced oath (as I currently work at a thrift shop that mainly sells clothes). Possibly "shirt" (e.g. "holy shirt!"), which is actually what the predictive text on my phone changes "shit" to. A non-clothing-related one I came up with but haven't put into practice is "battleship", as in "that's total battleship!".

so much to do, and yet... here, it feels like one cannot do anything but lie here and sleep forever.

I'm fond of one I made up, "Holy Duck with a typewriter" sadly, no matter how much I use it online and in person, it has not caught on.

Got a degree in Emotional trauma via fictional characters aka creative writing. hosting S'mores party in Hell for fellow (evil) writers
