    Gone a little quiet on the forum tonight, so was thinking of fun things, then my daughter did something to annoy me and my immediate response was to call out my annoyance, then I realised you shouldn't swear at your kids, so held back. I then remembered Billy Connolly telling how he invented words that sounded like he was swearing, but actually he wasn't, so as far as he was concerned his conscience was clear.
    Words he used:

    "Getta fu ya bassa"

    My personal favourite is "feck", which my Irish mother often said to me when I'd annoyed the crap out of her.

    Any others?

    I like the word 'guff'. Sounds like it could be a swear word but isn't one.

    I think it might well be Billy, certainly the words "bloody" and "hell" are not usually allowed in most households.
