/ February 28, 2012I find swearing in Zulu very therapeutic. Not only can I use some fairly … er … flowery verbiage to express myself, but bystanders have no idea (other than my tone of voice, facial expressions and body language) what I'm talking about.
It's probably safer that way …

/ February 28, 2012I find that, while it's probably not as cathartic, shouting “Son of a motherless goat!” helps.
And if that doesn't work, well, my favorite kid-friendly epithet is one my nephews introduced me to:
Got dandruff some of it itches!
You have to say it fast enough….
Then you'll get it.
