pseudoswear

What a person says when they want to swear, but

1. They are too afraid to

2. They are in a situation when it would not be acceptable to.

For example, pseudoswearing is saying things like "holy crumpets" or "what the frog"

1. "I freaking hate this crap!" said a goody-two-shoes who thinks it is wrong to swear.

2. "God darn you to heck!" pseudosweared our 60-year-old English teacher, who would probably get fired if she actually said what she was meaning to.
