G-rated words we say in Spanish to avoid R-rated ones

Pues la mera verdad, there’s nothing quite like cursing in Spanish.  The bad words just kind of roll off your tongue, y cuando estas enojado con mucha más razón.  We’ve noticed that about ourselves over the years.  When we’re angry and/or in a heated discussion we always go off in Spanish.  Even if most of the time we don’t speak to each other en español, at least not 100 percent of the time. Sure, we throw in a word or a phrase here or there, but English just feels more natural.

I’m willing to bet a lot of you all do the same.  In fact, I know you all do because we’ve been talking about language and culture ever since we launched this blog, what, about four years ago now?  Yesterday, I asked a few of you on Facebook to help me with this blog post.  I LOVE how in Spanish we’re always so playful with our words.  And I started thinking the other day that this is especially true when we’re trying to avoid using R-rated words in Spanish.  So we use G-rated ones instead.

Ya me estoy enredando, pero the point of this blog post was to share all of the hilarious G-rated words you all shared with me.  Read them.  Learn them.  And add to the list!  I want to learn as many of these words as possible, jajaja!
