Personally,  I like quoting Jake Blues, as he stood in the back of that revivalist church (full quote):

 

"The band!  The Band!!!  Jesus. H. Tap-dancing. Christ!!  THE BAND!!"

 

Gets me every time.

A personal favorite of mine is to loudly proclaim "Science! What have you DONE?"

 

Ah, odd stares in the library...:D

Well, I say thank Zeus, on occasion, or SOB. Jesus H Christ makes the case, too

I just tend to run with, "oh Your God"!, but most of the time, 'I just swear'.

"Oh Snap" Don't know if anyone brought this one up yet, I've been using it since the first time I heard it from Joy (Jaime Pressly) on "My Name Is Earl."

I could never use that - my kids used to watch a show on Disney called That's So Raven, starring Raven Simone. She ALWAYS said, "Oh SNAP!" when anything went wrong - and since it was a Disney show, she wound up saying it over and over.

And Over.

And Over....

So you can HAVE that one. I have definitely heard it enough to last me a lifetime. ;)

if i want to say:

jesus, i shorten it to just jeez or bejebus.

mother of god, i say mother of earl

my god, my goodness

 

i'm trying to find a good way to not say things like holy ________ (insert swear/non-swear word here). i've found that saying ballsacks is a good alternative. i've also found ballzheimers (balls + Alzheimers) effective

You could slightly modify the "ballsacks" one to the Brit swear word "bollocks" which means "balls".

There's a great scene in the movie Formula 51 (outside the U.S. this movie is called The 51st State) where Elmo McElroy (Samuel L. Jackson) is riding in a car with a Brit named Felix DeSouza (Robert Carlyle), who explains....

Elmo: So, let me get this straight. "Bollocks" is bad, whereas "the dogs' bollocks" is good, huh?
Felix: Yeah.
Felix: Oh, bollocks!
Elmo: Dog's bollocks?
Felix: No, just plain fucking bollocks!
Elmo: No dog involved?

I really love that movie. Incidentally, one of my favorite lines of all time comes from that movie - and since we're discussing cursing and exclamations here, I'm going to share it with the class.

This line comes from The Lizard (Meat Loaf), an American drug dealer who gets double-crossed by Elmo McElroy, his "chemist". The Lizard is trying to call Elmo when he realizes he's about to get blown up. The last thing Elmo hears on the voice mail is,

The Lizard: He fucked me. I'm truly ass-invaded!

On a side note, if you enjoy Brit humor, like over-the-top car chases along with over-the-top characters, and want to laugh your ass off, then I highly recommend this movie.
