Quid me anxia?
Well, MY daughter is a thespian! Anybody wanna make something out of it?
Dethaw? Wow. One of my uncles uses that word. He also uses "yous" as in "Yous better not leave your car there.". It makes me want to scream!!!
As for obscenity alternatives, I used to call one kid a terpsichorean. She got SOOOO angry. So did one teacher - sent me to the principal's office. Principal had to look it up and then just laughed at me. Girl was on the school dance team. Sent me back to class with a candy bar and a soda and a note to the teacher to look up the word, write it and the definition, then use it in a sentence five times. This was a standard punishment for cursing (1st offense). It was funny (to me) that the principal made the teacher do it.
Needless to say I was NOT that teacher's pet.
