How do I say "Holy Shit" without saying SHIT.

When I moved to New York from Georgia back in '69 I was shocked
the first time someone said:
Shit the bed ew

This is cute ... [img][/img]

I say this a lot these days ... [img][/img]

but it isn't parrot safe language

Help [img][/img]

The modern-day equivalent of "the bees knees". Absolutely the best. Derived from Southern California slang, by way of Snoop Dogg.

Damn, Dude, that sack you hooked me up with was the shizznit!




Not exactly what I was going for ...

but good for a laugh.

Thank heavens the postal carrier delivered the parrot's food this morning.
Now the featherheads are quietly munching on pellets.

My husband and I have potty mouths when we're in our home. We're from NJ. It's the official state word, I think.

I try not to curse in polite company (i.e. around kids, my boss, etc). But I recently cursed in front of my grandma, and she giggled. It's just the norm there.

I enjoyed "Holy Shizznit" as noted above.

I am going to try to use that so I don't slip up around those who don't appreciate profanity.
