Do you have any favorite replacement expletives that you use when the word you actually want to use is inappropriate, such as around kids or in public forums?
I am fond of 'jackwagon'

I don't have a word but I have a saying which is suitable for all occasions when an expletive is essential but not advisable .. "The curse of the 10 snotty orphans on XXXXXX"

I usually just make nonesense sounds.
They tend to sound like another language. Though I do like the one I came up with...
Fart flavored fishsticks
It's fun to say
I've read some good ones though.
My favorite is "Empty night!" from The Dresden Files

Mine are "son of a gun" or "son of a biscuit" if I get angry/drop something/mess something up. If I want to insult someone in an inappropriate manner, I usually refer to them as "Beavis," which I picked up from my husband.

Beavis! That's funny. I usually refer to a person like that as a "weenus" which is kind of the same thing, I think.
A rule I have for making up your own swear words: take any farm animal + any two syllable word
= goat butter
= pig turnip
= cow boogers
