    For "Thank God" I usually say "Thank the universe"

    How is that any more reasonable?
    The universe doesn't do you any favours any more than 'god' does. Whats the point in thanking a non sentient entity?

    You might as well thank your tea bag after a nice cuppa

    It seems to mean "so help me god", according to this page. I prefer to see it as a call to Bob Dobbs. :pac:

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Just put the word 'arse' in front of anything with a good hard consonant in it.
    E.g.; Arse-buckets

    Or if you can do impressions (and these only really work with the right voice)
    "Gersplunden" (Peter Sellers - German soldier in the Goons)
    "Sapristi Nadgers" (Spike Milligan - Moriarty in the Goons)

    "What in the name of Bonaparte's balls" (Stephen Fry as Wellington Black Adder III) [Nod to Hivemind187]

    Or anything from Anchorman.
    My favourite, reserved for my wife when's she on top infuriating form is...
    "Go back to your home on Whore Island you stinky pirate-hooker"

    P.S. I've just sat back in my chair and thought "God, I love swearing!", so maybe there's no escape.

    You don't know "Bob"? You must be Normal! :eek:

    As a High Priest (Apprentice OverMan Class) of the Church of the SubGenius, it is my sworn duty to enlighten all and sundry about the wonders of Slack. However, that sounds like work, and - in the words of our Feckless Leader, J.R. "Bob" Dobbs - "as long as we must work, we can not be free". So I can't be bothered. Praise "Bob", I guess. :cool:

    Thank god ----> thank ****
    Jesus Christ ----> Holy enchiladas!

    And so on.

    I usually just use the religious expression. It doubles as a handy force of habit, and an insult to religion.

    I find that "Estebancambias!" makes a fitting expletive. It rolls off the tongue quite easily and gives people the impression that you know how to swear fluently in a foreign language.

    It really helps express a certain degree of frustration and amazement alright.
