Profanity Mod: For World Peace Instead of FFS

I am on a never-ending quest to use less profanity. However, I still want the spike of stress release associated with cursing, so I substitute where I can. For example, I’m going to replace for f*ck’s sake (also FFS) with for world peace.

I’m very happy with this substitution. The cadence and syllables are is the same. Even the inflections are nearly identical.

I’ve tried this before

Another substitution of FFS I’ve tried is Christmas tacos! This one just didn’t match very well. It entertained me, but I just didn’t feel connected to the feel-good stimulation of the original phrase. “Christmas tacos” has ultimately become a substitute for oh sh*t, oh wow, and oh snap! It’s better suited as an expression of surprise, I think.

Something a classic Orbit Gum® commercial taught me, is there are creative ways of cursing that can still give you the emotional satisfaction of cursing without offending your company.
