A minced oath (also pseudo-profanity) is an expression based on a profanity that has been altered to reduce the objectionable characteristics of the original expression, for example, d'oh, darn or dang instead of damn; shoot or shucks instead of shit; heck instead of hell; flipping, freaking, frigging, effing, fricking, farging, frakking, fecking, or funking/phunking instead of fucking; goodness, golly, gosh, or gad instead of God; gee, geez, geeze, or jeez instead of Jesus; and crikey, criminy, or cripes instead of Christ.
