Sorry if this seems weird, but I had the idea, and voila! It’s written and published before I can have second thoughts.

Do you guys get it? Euphemisms are like “nicer” ways of saying things that shouldn’t be said. I know euphemisms aren’t necessarily little-known, but I’m pretty sure they aren’t used much in literature itself, so I just went ahead with it.

It’s definitely not that great though.

Oh yeah. I read somewhere that back then, in some books, they used words like, “here” and “there” to represent “hell” because it was improper =)

And I’m sorry for the use of the word in the first place. I never cuss. But this seemed like a funny idea.

lol. this was funny. i liked it.

I enjoyed it very very much, the character that didnt want to cuss was wonderfuly written, sure a lot of euphemisms for heck, dantes inferno,that place thats hot that they gnash and gind their teeth. loved it

=D Thanks

Ha, you have such a great writing style. This one was funny, and I would probably use every euphemism I had to avoid cussing (even if using “hell” in certain context isn’t a curse. Well, when you’re telling someone to “go to”—see? That context isn’t good.) =)

Thanks! =) It’s kinda refreshing to see someone, albeit, a made-up someone, who goes to the extreme of looking stupid in order to avoid cussing.

Btw, in case my definition of a euphemism was unclear to anyone who didn’t already know what it was, I wikied it =)

“Euphemism is the substitution of an agreeable or inoffensive expression for one that may offend or suggest something unpleasant to the listener.”

Nice job conveying the frustration, although, the storyline was a bit shaky.

Thanks, yeah, I think I see what you mean.

If anyone got confused, the setting is probably at school or something like that, given the appearance of the cheerleaders.

I think if you set the scene in the beginning, that might help.

_{The cussing didn’t bother me. As Mom says, Hell is just a place. The worst swear is “Da”, because then you’re wishing someone be in Hell for all eternity.}

The devil’s…hometown
Nearly did a spittake because of the laughing. Let me know if you rewrite it.

Interesting view on the cussing. I never thought of it like that =)

The re-write is better. I decided to do a sequel as a result.

This is an awesome ficlet! I love the avoidance of foul language! ^.
