A childhood belief about swearing

I used to believe that it’s OK to use what Mom said when I was 6, but I realized it’s the opposite. My high school and the bus are “profanity havens,” so I said some goofy words (“Trompin’ Trombones, Oh Reppies, etc.) in place of them (especially saying God’s name in vain).
