Being a goody two shoes, I don't write certain exclamations in my works.
This doesn't mean I am blantly *** the words, nor am I forcing the characters to remain shut in contrast to their personalities,
My characters are as goody two shoes as me, never indulging themselves in words like frick.
However, there are certain times when a simple scream doesn't do justice.
For example, if you see a cockroach, its normal to say, "AHHHH!"
However, if you see an alien shooting people, a simple scream wouldn't really fit well. A disaster of this level requires something like, "the fri-the frick is that!?"
Same when, say, mc meets his best friends after years.
Now, things like, "Friends, we meet again," sure sounds cool, but nothing beats the homey feeling of, "Damn you mother frickers, come here!" and then going for a group hug.
The only alternative I have at the time is Jesus Christ and its derivatives, like
Jesus Chritus
Jesust Christus
Jesus Christus All Mightitus
How, how would you replace swear words?
