g-slang
Swear words that got dressed up to look fancy so they could be used in fancy places and still be kind of loud.
My mom said 'fiddlesticks' instead of 'flip out' when the dog ate the birthday cake.
The waiter said 'darn' instead of 'dang' when he spilled wine on the table.
My brother said 'flimflam' instead of 'flippin' when he failed his math test.
