I've always like Frick & Frack. But personally, I couldn't give a flying ****. 
[edit: that was the title of the French Connection Store! blasted editor didn't let me use my optical joke...Frickin' Frack!]

How about "Fadge"?
...As in "What the Fadge?!?" As used often in "Ghost Hunters" (you can tell these guys are Dads)

Fug is hella cool.max_altitude said:I went through a bit of a fug phase a few years ago, it was fun. Frack is the in thing now though so I wouldn't be caught dead saying fug.
who honestly says fug? Fugly, less. Fug? Um...
...And for that matter who says FRACK in real life? I see it thrown around here to avoid some *$*#&@ but i mean jeez

Thanks for the link - I think I'll have to scour my favorite torrent sites for all the epsiodes tonight and put this series on my radar screen...
I don't understand the point of replacing one word with a similar-sounding word to conjure up the same image. Why not just use the first word? Of course, my middle name is ********* which means I'd have to use a replacement word (proword?) if ever I wanted to write it here on these forums.
I suppose the replacement words decrease the intensity of what is being said, sound somewhat humorous and take a bit more control to actually say than the real thing. Usually they are used in events where you are trying to sound less offensive, but still want to get your message of frustration/anger across.
At my last place of work we had a swear jar that you had to contribute to if you swore using one of the real words. A co-worker of mine was essentially trying to make herself feel a bit more professional while at work. It ended up extending to everyone that came into our area. Depending on the word said determined the amount that had to be paid. The most (the MF-word) was $.25, the least was $.01. Lets just say that within a three month period about $30 was collected from various co-workers who swore when they came into our area (a sign was posted about the rules). It was going to be put towards a mini-bike that could be used by people on our team. Three of us were the only ones that never had to pay anything to the jar.
