I love the “graham crapers” story! That made me giggle too, and I’m 39! And I might just have to steal the “Puke-a-Buzzard” furse phrase. I hadn’t heard that one, but it sounds like it might be very effective. Thank you for sharing, Debbie.

Hello, I found your info. very entertaining as I read I started remembering some things that happened when I was little (now 44) and that was my mom was going to get some food to help with a food drive our church was having for thanksgiving and she does NOT use foul language EVER! Anyway she was in the cracker isle at Fred Myers and she said ” hey why don’t we get some graham crapers for the food drive.” Well as you can imagine as a pre-teen I giggled, and she was totally mortified , because up until that day the worst “fursing” I had ever heard from her mouth was ” Puke-A-Buzzard!” then you knew she was truely angry.

Love it Eryn! You can only imagine how much fursing I have had to resort to since Ashleigh, Maddie and Sam came along. Look forward to your monthly blog.

Hey Eryn,
Great work! I liked it….They should pay you…Let me know when you get to the part where I can tell you that story about Taylor when she was two and we were at the beach and I was in my speedo and she said “Jin Jin you have a lot of sand in your suit. Of course I agreed completely…Kudos and great luck…Jamers

Thanks for the fursing tips - I, too, didn’t know there was an “official” word for my substitiutions and I sure could have used more fursing tips when my children were younger! But whether you are a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, friend, or neighbor, it seems we can always find an innocent well within earshot when we let an expletive slip. They have a habit of sneaking up behind us, don’t they?
“What a pita” (pain in the a..) seems to be the fursing I use the most. I can’t wait to read what other fursing suggestions our fellow bloggers can come up with!
Congratulations, Eryn!

I love it. I remember when we took G to Seaworld and her mother dropped a blanket in the rain and said D&%^I@! Several minutes later G did something and said the same thing. I can picture JT asking you that. He is the best funny little man I know.

YOu are off to a great start. Congratulations!

My personal fave furse is “flippin!”
Love the blog! I need advice from anyone out there about pre-teens! My 7th grade son just informed me that it was “crucial” that he have unlimited texting on his cell because of all the girls that are texting him. What the?! Am I crazy for thinking it’s a BAD idea for kids to be sitting around texting each other instead of being active and engaged in society?

If I had kiddos, this is where I would be looking for comic relief and advice all in one!

Eryn, such a great site and looking forward to more! I wish my little L.L. (”Elle”)’s Daddy would START to furse. Elle’s gonna have a doosie of a first word if he doesn’t!!!!!!

My furses: “Crab-ola”, “Crum” , “Dagnabit”, and “Graham Crackers”- thank you, didn’t know there was a term for it!

My 3-year-old granddaughter coined the “furseword” DADGARNET during a discussion of what are bad words and what are not. I use it often, it’s become my favorite!

Target must be the site for the f-bomb. K and I walked through the shoe department having a discussion “is fung a bad word, Gamma?” i
“is furg a bad word?” and so on, just use your imagination!!!

Thanks Eryn, for the gift of smiles.
