The Herb-a-Swore

giphy-downsized

If you’ve read any of my books, you’ll know I LOVE a good swear. Sometimes inventive, sometimes conventional, I’ve rarely made a supposed ‘bad’ word I didn’t like.

In Here Comes the Son, I got incredibly creative with Lalo, one of the main characters. He doesn’t curse in a way you’d expect.

So here are a few of his greatest hits.

  1. Holy Crumbs
  2. Fudgesicles
  3. Son of a Carrot
  4. Son of a Cabbage
  5. Oh My Basil
  6. Basil It Up
  7. For the Love of Oregano
  8. For Fennel’s Sake
  9. What the Fennel?
  10. Crumbs

I think ‘basil it up’ is probably my favourite.

  1. Two of my favorite non-curses I like from when I was in a work environment I couldn’t swear in are “damn jackals” and “son of a bass fish”
