My sympathies
but more seriously Dinah, do you really use words like Dang it and Dagnabbit the last time I heard dagnabbit was on Hucklberry Hound? (maybe Tabitha remembers huckleberry hound we must be close to the same age because she remembers LUUUUDES)Or do you just do that to be innofensive? thats why I do it, though I don't say "dagnabbit" just Jiminy Crickets

Well, now that you mention it, I do remember Huckleberry Hound. But I never liked him. Dang dumb hick blue dog cartoon, right? Give me bugs bunny anyday, or popeye 'n' olive oyl, or, ... yikes, all those hours spent watching cartoons and I can't remember more... must have replaced those parts of memory with ANDY GIBB song lyrics...

Actually it's a bit of both. I have been known to curse like a (relatively subdued) sailor. And I now owe over $40 to the curse box, at a conservative estimate. But with a little one around, I do try to substitute words. After all I don't want him picking up foul language at home and bringing it to school.
But I also have a real affinity for arcane expressions. I don't even realize it, but I often befuddle my listeners. My husband has this ongoing bit, where he "does" me as a football announcer. He's better at it than I am but it goes something like this:
"Egads, who called that accursed play. The coaching staff must be three sheets to the wind. Odd's fish, Jim, I really think this team is going to rack and ruin."
By the way, my husband and I used to argue about the term "arcane expression" all the time. He kept insisting I meant archaic expression. I finally researched through his vast expanse of language books and found a chapter that validated my use of the term "arcane expression". Ironically enough however, "arcane expression" according to this book is an arcane expression.
(Grin. Geek humor.)

But you'd never know it to look at my husband. He is one good looking guy. Much better looking than I am. Fortunately, he isn't aware of how attractive he is. :)
