Stuff like “god damn”, “fucking hell”, etc. Anything that stems from religious sources. That includes fudged varieties like “jeez/geez” and “heck”.

And to clarify, this isn’t some attempt to avoid blasphemy or anything. I’m not particularly religious and would rather rewrite the neural pathways for those “defaults”, but haven’t been able to come up with satisfactory alternatives so far.

*To clarify further, I’m all good with most other curses (shit, fuck, ass, etc). I’m not trying to be inoffensive, just non-religious.

    Gyatt damn is my latest favorite. It sounds close enough but is absolutely absurd when you think about it. “Thick-ass damn!”

      AFAIK, “gyatt” is from the way people say “g-d damn”. As in, it’s what certain people said when they saw the thing the word has now been associated with.
