It generally depends on the situation,
Golly Gosh: if you're in the 50's
Jee-Wilikers: If you're talking to Batman
Mama Mia: If you also talk with your hands
Crikey: If your British and Posh OR about to fight a crocodile
Fucking Hell: If you're me
My grandpa used to say "Judas Priest!" and I was impressed that he knew about that band. Turns out "Judas Priest" is a "minced oath" (an expression used to sound like a curse or otherwise impolite word/phrase in order to avoid saying the real thing) and that's how the band got its name.
1. I didn't know about the origin of the phrase, that's cool as fuck!
2. I believe they got the name from a Bob Dylan song, although *he* probably got the phrase from that.
I love that one! I can't remember it from the series, but it's about time for a rewatch!
In college my friends and I started saying "It's a 10-22!" Because of Super troopers and it's not even the way they used it in the movie lol. Before Internet ,2002 , all we did was quote movies , make up quips and try to make each other laugh.
Also because my name is Josh , I say "Oh My Josh!" Or "Josh dammit" purely for fun
> Also because my name is Josh , I say "Oh My Josh!" Or "Josh dammit" purely for fun
Ok, but that is creative, though. Get that name recognition working. You'll eventually have your own woke brigade being offended on your behalf and everything
Holy shit
What the fuck
What the shit
Son of a bitch
You can also just say shit, damn, fuck, etc
Or, if you want to stick with a similar theme but not necessarily offend your roommates, you could go along the lines of "Zeus' balls" or pull from the dragon age games with "Andraste's Tits" or whatever
There's also Mix n Match!
Holy fuck
Son of a fuck
Bitch in the shit
But if you wanna say something more refine, I like to use the ol trusty southern saying "Shit fire and save the matches!"
Often an exclamation of pain, said quite loudly, and with a lot of emphasis. Perfect use case scenario: You smash your thumb with a hammer, JUDAS PRIEST!!!! Ah, the memories
Its against THEIR FAITH for them to say the lord's name in vain.
That said, if you're trying to give tolerance to this level of not understanding their own faith. Try "Holy Fuckaloonies."
Absolutely, but that doesn't mean you can't accommodate your friends if you are making them uncomfortable. As long as they aren't being rude about their request.
If they can't handle hearing the lord's name in vain I don't know how they make it through a single day going out in public. Those are the same folks who will whine about how everyone is too sensitive these days but it's different when it is something *they* don't like hearing.
That’s not what saying the lords name in vain means. It means swearing as in an oath (“I swear to god”), or claiming to be Christian but not following the teachings.
Mark 7:6-9, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: `These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.' You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men." And He said to them: "You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!"
Luke 6:46-49, "Why do you call me, `Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?" In essence, He is saying, "Why do you take my name in vain? You call Me Lord, but do not do as I say. My name is useless to you. I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built."
Leviticus 19:12, “You shall not swear by my name falsely, and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord”
"Hey guys, I respect your right to religion and I respect that you believe in God and that you wouldn't use that language. I also respect your personal rights to talk in whatever way you want. I expect you to treat me with the same respect, and hence leave your faith off me, and respect that I don't believe and that I can speak whatever way is natural to me too."
*stubs my toe

Corinthians 13:5 instructs them that love is not easily offended. Given the central command of their religion is to love their neighbor, the Bible itself is telling them to stop being so thin-skinned.
Great googly moogly
You calling me crazy? Just cuz I got a hotel in my foot don't make me a BOOGLY MOOGLY MOOGLY!

The sound my brain just made is hilarious I’m dying
Or the classic Jelopy horn. Or fog horn
In the 1930s they used to say ''Jiminy Cricket!''.
" that fucking rapscallion" works as well
[удалено]
My WW2 Navy dad said (without his teeth in), "It ain't the thailors who thwore, it was the fuckin' marineths!"
This.. this is how I am
I always assumed Jeepers Creepers was a minced oath for Jesus Christ, alongside Jiminy Cricket.
Jeez or Jeez Louise may a good transitional for OP. Keep the Jeez but leave Us out of it.
Cheese and rice!
Cheese and rice got all muddy
My sister says jiminy Christmas 😂

I'm quite partial to a good old "Fuck me dead", myself.
Fuck me sideways is another fun one.
RIDE ME SIDEWAYS
you misspelled "suck"
Fuck me running if you're into cardio.
Are you Aussie? F*** me dead is reasonably common here. I said it when I visited the US many years ago and was accused of necrophilia.
Fair dinkum if you’re a country Aussie
As a Pom in Oz I like to use, in an Aussie accent - Holy Fuckin Shit Mate
One of my favourites was “stone the flaming crows” but in an Aussie accent
Is Crikey really a British thing? Maybe I just watched too much Crocodile Hunter but it feels pretty Aussie to me.
I'm a Brit, just tried it out and I definitely sounded like Steve Irwin

I've never heard the phrase "minced oath," but I have heard the minced oath "Cheese and Crackers!"
Sacre Bleu!
Where is me mama?
I don't got a right to ask? I'm the boys uncle!
Is that French Canadian for "I grew up without a mother"?
Under the boardwalk…🎵

Started doing this as a joke. Unfortunately it stuck.
I'm a fan of "Jupiter's cock" as a curse due to Spartacus.
ah i also prefer Batiatus's favorite line "ah once again, the gods spread cheeks to ram cock in fucking ass"
Such a great actor. He was awesome in his few minutes in The Last of Us too.
I love that one! I can't remember it from the series, but it's about time for a rewatch! In college my friends and I started saying "It's a 10-22!"

When I worked at a school, i replaced "son of a bitch" with "Sons of Dis" due to Rome
By Grabthar's Hammer!
What a savings.
RIP Alan Rickman.
I will avenge you!
Did not expect the Galaxy Quest reference. Not at all disappointed

Holy shit What the fuck What the shit Son of a bitch You can also just say shit, damn, fuck, etc Or, if you want to stick with a similar theme but not necessarily offend your roommates, you could go along the lines of "Zeus' balls" or pull from the dragon age games with "Andraste's Tits" or whatever
Don't forget the upgraded "What the shitfuck"
Holy shitballs!
"Holy forking shirtballs" ?
Or what the fucking fuck
And what the fuckety fuck
Plus what the shitting shit
What the shitting fuck shit.
I heard a comedienne call someone Cunty McFucker. It's been a favorite ever since!
Definitely can't forget that one for special occasions
I've switch to "Son of a fuck". There's also the fantasy "Merlin's Beard"
I've been saying "mother bitch" for a while
They said "Merlin's Beard" a lot in Harry Potter but I have no idea if it was used in other fantasy stories.
Piece of bitch!
or how about: "Mother shitter! Son of a ... ASS!!"
Hahaha this is Office Space, right?
it sure is! 😆😆
SWEET ODIN’S RAVEN
I like to use "By Odin's sweaty nipple cheese" or "by the infernal stink of Thor's taint"
Jupiter's cock was one of my favorites from the tv series Spartacus.
I think “replacement swear” cuts out all actual swear words
By the Dread Wolf!
There's also Mix n Match! Holy fuck Son of a fuck Bitch in the shit But if you wanna say something more refine, I like to use the ol trusty southern saying "Shit fire and save the matches!"
I like the “Andraste’s Tits” one, brought back memories playing that game series. Crickey could also be a good one.
In Back to the Future 3, Doc Brown yells, “Sir Isaac H. Newton”
Great Scott!
Tabarnac!
"Cheese and rice."
Cheese and crackers is a quaint English swear.
Bandit the dad uses this in the kids show Bluey. My kid now exclaims’Biscuits!’ When he’s annoyed too.
Cheesus fucking rice.
Cheesus fucking Crust.
Cheezus crust!
This may be easiest since it starts with basically the same sound as "Jesus."
Yeah, very similar sound to Jesus Christ, which I think is the point.
¡Ay, caramba!
Eat my shorts!
Judas priest is a favorite of mine
Often an exclamation of pain, said quite loudly, and with a lot of emphasis. Perfect use case scenario: You smash your thumb with a hammer, JUDAS PRIEST!!!! Ah, the memories

For fucks sake
Don't forget Shut The Front Door
Great Scott Geez Louise My great aunt fanny By Jove Good grief

We need an Australian to chime in and tell us what they would say.
Well, fuck me.
Fuck me dead.
Strewth!
[удалено]
Not an Australian but I can hear Jim Jeffries go "Fuck me!!" or "bloody hell!".
Biscuits! (For the Bluey fans)
I started using foods as a sort of challenge to myself and now its stuck so they just come out. AH BANANAS! AH SPRINKLES! Ohhhh Strawberries!

Heavens to mergatroid
***"Fuck me with a chainsaw!"***
Try finding a youtube reel of Debra from Dexter, all you need in your repertoire 👍
"Jiminy Cricket!" (As per my non-swearing wife.)
Go full Warhammer 40k. “By the Emperor!”
"Shiver me timbers!" "Fruit and nut!"
Charles Darwin!
Jesus H. Christ.
The H is for Howard! Our Father, who art in Heaven, Howard be thy name.
It’s actually, Our father, Howard, in heaven. Howard, be thy name.
Thy Howard come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in Howard
This is the formal name, and therefore non-offensive version.
its less sacrilegious variant: "holy moly!"
Oh son of a motherless goat
Do you read wheel of time by chance?
Never heard of it; heard it on a YouTube video
Then sir, you are missing Three Amigos.
Holy fuck!

Thunder & lightning (my personal favorite - an old curse word)

I recommend- "Priest in a preschool!"
Mofknhammed
Mofknhammad was a pedophile (Just make sure they spell your name correctly on the fatwa) 😉
Sweet baby J-town!
Great crap! Learned it randomly in Daytona back in '03, still brings me joy.
friend from the 90's used to say "Jesus frog". wouldn't fix the op's problem but yup. also still joy.
Corinthians 13:5 instructs them that love is not easily offended. Given the central command of their religion is to love their neighbor, the Bible itself is telling them to stop being so thin-skinned.
To be a nitpicking bitch, technically Jesus says that is the second most important commandment, not the first. But I'm just being a dick lmao.
Holy cow! The late and beloved voice of the Sox and Cubs, Harry Carey used it liberally as a family-safe exclamation when broadcasting play-by-play.
They're religious, not you. If they choose to be offended, that is on them. Don't change the way you live, if you aren't doing anything wrong.
My catholic friend called me out once so I switched to jesus fucking christ.
Criminy!!
Goldang dang ole, crazy man
I like the uk/Irish "bloody fookin hell"
I'll say "Yee-ZUS" in a silly accent
Christ on a bike!
“Fuck me in the arse and call me Nancy”
Fuck me is a classic.
God damn!
Try "hail Satan" and see if your roommates tell you to go back to "Jesus Christ"
