TRANSCRIPT: "So you know when you’re frustrated and you’re having a bad day and you just want to say a really dirty word to make yourself feel better, but the problem is you can’t because there’s a little kid next to you, maybe an elderly person sitting next to you, maybe you’re in school, and you just cannot say a bad word. Well today I’m going to show you how to say those bad words, those curse words, the clean way. So, you can say these words almost anywhere. In fact, if you watch kid’s movies, I guarantee you’ll hear some of these words already. So these are kind of the clean ways of saying words that you probably already know.
Everyone knows the “f” word, and I’m going to show you a way to say the “f” word without actually saying it. So…. right here. Usually you want to say, “That f%$^ing test was so hard!” but you can’t say it because you’re in class and that’s rude. That’s impolite. What you can say is “freaking”. You can say, “That freaking test was so hard! I hate it!” or you can say, “The freaking weather in Chicago is too cold!” And it’s fine. People understand you. You are not cursing, but you are showing that you’re angry somewhat. Another way if you just want to say the “f “ word, if you hurt your hand or your leg and you want to say “F%$^&!” You can say, “Fudge!” Just like the chocolate, “Fudge”. And people understand that you cannot say the “f” word.
Next, “damn”. Damn isn’t as bad as the “f” word, but if there are some children around you and don’t want to say it you can say “Darn” or “Dang”. So next time you want to say “damn”, just practice a new word and say “Darn” or “Dang” instead.
Next, a very famous English phrase that I’ve heard many many people use “WTF”. Now, of course you can just say “WTF” if you want to say that. But if you want to say “What the %^#$%^” you can also say “What the heck?” Now this is a variation from what the hell, but what the hell is also kind of bad. It is also kind of a bad word. So you can say “What the heck” if you do not know what is going on in a situation. “What the heck is going to be on this test tomorrow?”
The next one is another really bad word, as you can see I didn’t want to write it. It starts with an “s” and ends with a “t”. Well, if you want to say that word, but you cannot, you can just say, “shoot”. Now shoot we usually say when something bad happens. For example, “I got a 25% on my test. Shoot!”
The next one is a little bit more aggressive. You say this to people you don’t like. now you can say shut the #$%# up,” bad word right there, or you can say “Shut the heck up”. Now that’s a cleaner way to say a dirty word, right? It’s a cleaner way to be aggressive or explicit if there’s little kids around, right?
The next one is more of an insult, right? This one is pretty strong. You can say “Son of a gun” instead of “Son of a $%^”. I’ll let you figure out that last word for yourself. That’s your homework. You can say, “That guy… man, he’s a real son of a gun.” And that means that he is mean, or you do not like him or you think that he is a bad person or something like that.
And the last one, this last one is really fun. It’s just “bleep.” Now this is the sound that you hear in movies when they curse and it’s on TV and they “bleep”. They make a bleep noise, so you cannot hear the bad word. You can use this for any bad word at all. For example, “Bleep that bleepin’ bleep right there!” What did I say? You probably know what I wanted to say, but I could not say it. So the next time you want to say a curse word practice saying “Bleep!” and that way you know that you are censoring yourself. You’re cleaning your language yourself."
