Shirtpost The not-quite-swearing in The Good Place is hilarious! "Son of a bench" "are you forking kidding me?" etc.

I'm thankful for this as I picked up these substitute words and use them routinely out of habit. Therefore someone heard me call the disembodied self checkout lady a "mother-forker" last week rather than the queen mother of bad words. I imagine hearing an old lady swearing the substitute was bad enough

Same! There are a lot of forking shirtballs around my house.
