Utah "Swear Words"

After living in "Motown" aka Mormon Town aka Utah, I've made some observations on the language that's used around here. Now, I'm sure these phrases aren't solely used in Utah, but they're heavily used by Mormons and Utah is their Mecca. I digress...

Since Mormons, or Mo's as the Gentiles sometimes refer to them, are not supposed to swear, they have their own particular set of replacement swear words. What's so funny about this set of words is that there are lots of people out there that try not to cuss (myself included), but these people don't necessarily use these phrases. They seem to almost be specific to Mo's in Utah. Early today, my co-workers (some of whom are Mo's) and I came up with the following list:

• "What the frick?!" (I don't even know what to say about this one.)
• "What the crap?!" (Why can't they just say "crap"?)
• "Oh my hell!" (Now this is a classic. Never heard this until I moved here. What's hilarious about this is that they're still saying "hell".)
• "Fetchin'!" (Seriously?)
• "Flippin'!" (I think I'm guilty of using this word back in jr. high or something.)
• "Oh my gosh!" (This definitely is NOT specific to Utah, but for some reason it weirds me out to hear a grown man say this.)
• "Fudge!" (I think only the older generation uses this one.)
• "Freaking..." (I think I've been using this word for quite a while.)
• "Friggin'" (No comment.)

Oh my gosh! I totally hope you all enjoy the rest of your freaking day. Oh my hell! It's almost time to go home! w00t!
