She doesn't seem to have a lot of close lady-friends, at least in the land of the living, anyways.

Well, there is Tina, who can be just as classy as Showbiz.

Eventually, I think they became that but... I don't think that's what they were rooted in.

Just me, just my theory but...

I can't imagine a kid just saying "shoot!" and not still getting his ass kicked for coming close... I have to think that it was created for some bowlderized kinda storytelling and then slowly grew into an accept "half"-swear through that application.

My mom says "shoot."  That's where I learned it.  I'm more inclined to use "jehosephat" or "crapioca pudding." 

Today, my son repeated Pedro's frustrated pseudo-swear.  The words "Dang Gonnit" are adorable coming from a three year old.  (Maybe I just think anything my kid says is cute because he says so little?) 

Also: Is choop here to stay?  Could it be too good to be true?

Also, and this may well be splitting hairs here, but I don't think that a dude as thoughtless and crude would ever refer to The Lesbian Act as "lezzing it up"... the dude would definitely say "dyking it up".

I'm not sure I've ever heard "lez" as a spoken term by an actual person in my entire life, I think it may be one of those media-created swear-replacers like "darn" and "heck" and "frig" and so on... so as to be less offensive but generally still make the point of the curse.

No way. "Dyke" implies unattractive while "lezzing it up" implies Cinemax.

My personal favorite non-swears are "son of a whore" and "dude, what the cock?"

Two pages of posts and nobody points out the hi-larious (and I am positive intentional) irony of Chris  running this strip on the day he starts asking for for handouts.

When I was about 6 I would exclaim 'jumping jerusalem'. I'm fairly sure I didn't have a strong grip on what jerusalem was at that point, I just liked alliteration.

Well, considering that Pacific Bell has been renamed fifteen different things since it was Pacific Bell and is, I think, AT&T again... I believe that being in a Pacific Bell phonebooth was supposed to subtly underline how low a place Showbiz was calling from...

A place where they haven't even bothered to rebrand the few remaining phone booth.
