My nephew learned a few choice words from his mom when he was little and after being told repeatedly that those weren’t “kid words”, he made up his own… “GOL-DARN-DANGIT!”… usually with a foot stomp to go with it. Worked for him, worked for us and got more than one chuckle from people when he’d say it in public.
And, the big question left unresolved, will inventing new ones get your mouth washed out with soap? Mom will definitely rule it a euphemism. Can a euphemism get you convicted, or will you walk on a technicality?

The way to really get that cathartic relief of using a juicy swear word is to learn those in another language that your parents don’t speak. Google translate is your friend.
Yeah, I agree with the kids here. Not that it’s good to use swear words, but the double standard. I’ve heard parents tell their kids not to use a word because it’s an “adult” word. How about setting a good example and NOT USING IT AROUND YOUR KIDS? OR AT ALL? Sorry. I’ll get off my soap box now. LOL
Confusion is a great way to dispel the harshness of a profane outburst. Aww shiz-nit! That’s a load of bungwaggle! I find it more satisfying to use phrases that are fun to say and roll off the tongue.

“Sussy baka”. I don’t know what it means, but it’s something I’ve heard kids say, and I just assume it’s a swear they invented.

I learned swear words from Yosemite Sam, I thought “ratta, fratta, hatta” was a swear word.

Anything’s a swear word if you get the inflection right.

“Shiitake mushrooms” was me and my sister’s code word for “s**t” when we were around our parents.

Why have vulgarities at all if they’re bad anyways?

I’ve mentioned this before: a friend used to use “Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung!”, a nasty-sounding German term that translates as “speed limit.”
