In place of those naughty words...

 Hi there

Let me set the picture:  It's the 1960's, a government typing pool comprised of, say, a dozen typists.  When typing mistakes on (foolscap) paper are made, all that can be used to erase them is, well, an erasure (or a 'rubber' in that decade's vernacular).  Some typists would erase the mistake along with a sad sigh, others muttered  something angrily under their breath, citing that the job in question would have to be retyped.   Many typists shouted, "Fudge!"

At the age of 16, I didn't know that "Fudge!" represented a naughty word, but looking back, I'm surprised that noone told the typists off about using it.

During my early time in the pool, one typist did come up with my favourite typing exclamation phrase of all time:

"Oh, bunny rabbits and toadstools!"  

Thanks, Francie, that's a cute keeper.

Not perhaps as cute though as when I heard one annoyed lady on a reality show shout out, "For the love of little bunnies!".  I was in heaven over such a phrase.  I now use it all the time.  There's something about bunny rabbits ...

        cuteness overload?  Who cares if this isn't Easter?  Altogether now, "Ahhhhh.."
