"Many times in our effort to refrain from improper speech, we find words to substitute. Sometimes they are so close to vulgar phrases everyone probably knows that we are substituting words and have not really improved our vocabulary."
Elder L. Tom Perry
Sometimes
when I see my child's grades
I want to say substitute words.

Kenna came up with this one... "Ahhh Pickles". It has stuck.
