    'Son of a B!'  I was playing golf with an old timer, and that's what he used for cussing.

    m2c~ That was the first one I thought of too!  I heard it for the first time spoken by James Corden.  It took me a second to figure out why he said it but when used in response to statement said prior, I got it.  I like this one a lot and have used it as well.

    Morning Glory~ One of my favorites, for sure!!

    StuBee~ This sounds like something you would say.  So innocent, yet effective and spelled correctly, too!  I love it!

    "Well I never" which doesn't make sense because you use it when talking about someone else and something they did that was scandalous or wrong.

    I know dozens of them. Most 'cuss words' have several less offensive variants. Examples: gee whiz, son of a biscuit, God bless America, fudge, for crying out loud, heck, golly.
