I swear like a trooper.
Though I will use the word "heck" sometimes. But not as a substitute word.
Incidentally, crap is an interesting word with a couple of meanings.
I wonder if it is a back forming from the word Crapper, for lavatory?
This name comes from Thomas Crapper, who it is claimed, invented the modern Water Closet or WC.
His firm is still in existence
