I don't think Damn counts as cuss word especially if you draw it out like Chris Tucker in Friday. "Daaaaaaammmmmnnnnn!!!!" I'm pretty fond of Hell too, especially with all of it's derivatives, "Hellfire!, What the Hell?, Oh Hell No!..." But, the phrase I've been using most lately is "That's So Wrong..."
I had a frat brother in college who always said, "F*#@ me gently with a chainsaw!" It was hysterical the way he would use it. "Well, F$@* me gently with a chainsaw, the cafeteria has hamburger steak today!" 😀
What's so funny about catch phrases or vernacular is how it changes over time and depending on who you are around. A friend of mine and I once talked about how you pick up the words and ways things are said from the people around you. We started making up new stuff and using it just to see if it would catch on with others. Sometimes it actually did. We're such silly creatures. 🙂
