g-slang
Cuss words that got softened up so they could be used in polite company without making people want to scream.
My uncle said 'darn' instead of 'dang' when he stubbed his toe on the door.
My neighbor said 'fiddlesticks' instead of 'flip out' when the mailman took the newspaper.
My grandma said 'honey' instead of 'honey' because she was too tired to cuss properly.
