And the jesus christ goddamit register where I am exasperated beyond vocabulary...

I need some properly atheist swearing to replace my exasperation register!

Something I can say again and again without getting bored, but which is still reasonably weighty...

β€œgood grief” is ok but a bit peanuts (I have been using it but it’s feeble)

The tricky thing is that this register seems to be about β€œgood” things used in a bad context, so (eg) β€œhitler on a bike!” would not work

Also there’s the risk of new swears not being clearly swears, eg β€œglobal warming!”

So, dear Twitter, suggest to me new atheist swears I can use in moderately polite company!

"For crying out loud" instead of "Jesus Wept". Which leads to an escalation of "For fucks sake" when things get worse.

I like to use words such as 'actual' or 'absolute' as emphasis, or 'suppurating' for the mouth-feel. "What the absolute suppurating trashpile of a fuck is going on here?" for example

I might try out food words as non-rude swears, and "suppurating" is a good adjective to use with them :-)
