...said I could use substitute words as a crutch, but advised employing a more positive, invective-free attitude. He suggested using shoot as a sort of cussing patch for the first few weeks. Finding shoot too embarrassing, I decided to go with two Civil War-era favorites, dandisprat and mutton-thumper, both of which could have been included in Jefferson Davis' comedy routine, "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Whatever People Did Before Television."
