I am fond of "dunce" as a substitute for asshole. It rolls off the tongue with the same effect as a curse. Also "goof" works nicely, considering it's a really terrible thing to call someone in canada for some reason.

"Schnitzel" is a nice all around expletive. Also I really like how the Quebecois say "tebernac" as a swear, so sometimes I like to say "ah, chapel" or "what the church" for schnits and giggles.

Ever seen the edited-for-TV version of "Repo Man?"

"Flip you, melon farmer" in multiple variations.
"John Wayne was a freak!" (That whole conversation has all sorts of weird dubbed dialogue.)
I forget exactly what substitutes for "gypsy dildo punks" but it's pretty funny.

Plus a couple of scenes that weren't in the theatrical cut, like one where Bud and Otto destroy a pay phone.

(It's included in the Criterion blu-ray release.)

Me too. "Knob" for stupid people, "cock" for more offensive people, "knobskin" for even less impressive people. "Knob-end" or "bell-end" I use a lot. "Shit-wit", too - they're all reasonably affectionate. If someone REALLY deserves it, I sometimes dust off "shit-stain" but that's pretty harsh.

Is "dingus" phallic? I have a Merican friend who uses the most "gee whiz" language, and she says it all the time, so I always presumed it was above-the-belt in origin.

When it comes to phallic-styled expletives, I like to use "ding-dong."

I accuse my one-year old daughter of being a "turd" a whole bunch.

My family loves to watch the kids show, "Bluey", and it has a good staple of kid-friendly expletives such as: "beans on toast!", "cheese on jam!", "biscuits!", etc.
