Help
I want to know, have any of you started using the “Hood….!” exclamation in normal conversations yet? I’ve started to introduce it at home when I can as just another alternative to a swear word in front of the children.
Favourites so far:
“Hoods Breath!”
“Hoods Teeth!”
“Oh, Hood take me…” *in exasperated fashion
And in more adult company…
“Hoods Balls!”

I've caught myself using "shaved knuckle" a few times.
HiddenOne. You son of a bitch. You slimy, skulking, low-posting scumbag. You knew it would come to this. Roundabout, maybe. Tortuous, certainly. But here we are, you and me again. I started the train on you so many many hours ago, and now I'm going to finish it. Die HO. Die. This is for last time, and this is for this game too. This is for all the people who died to your backstabbing, treacherous, "I sure don't know what's going on around here" filthy lying, deceitful ways. You son of a bitch. Whatever happens, this is justice. For me, this is justice. Vote HiddenOne Finally, I am at peace.

Talking of using Hood as a curse, I came across a passage in RotCG where someone says "Shut the Hood up."
Now, does that really get on anyone else's nerves, too? I've never viewed 'Hood' as simply an alternative to saying 'hell', for example, and don't think that they can be used in the same way.
Doesn't 'shut the Hood up' just sound wrong?

The love I bear thee can afford no better term than this: thou art a villain.

I agree. Usually in SE's book,The Abyss takes the place of Hell in curses.
