What curse word or phrase would you like the show to "ponify" next?

Cursing is something that we tend to do under certain circumstances. I know that kids shows should not promote cursing, but sometimes it's the only option in order to drive a point across.

 

Aside from the usual somepony/anypony puns that we get in every single episode, on the rare occasion we'll get the ponies to replace strong language with horse puns ala:

 

What the hell = what the hay

Nobody gives a flying (*squee) = nopony gives a flying feather

Congratu(f-ing)lations = Congratu-Pony-lations!

 

So my question to all of you:

  1. What are your thoughts on the show staff getting away with using strong language by inserting pony words instead of the actual curse word?  
  2. Also, what curse word would you like to see ponified? I'm curious as to see what some of you will come up with (just try not to go too overboard with it, since I don't like promoting the idea of cursing in this kind of show  ;)

I think it's subtle enough to get away with ;)

Although, they certainly tip their hat to the fanbase quite a bit within the show. I think they could add 'buck' in, but let's not forget this show does have a young audience and people get offended more and more easily these days. They could just learn to deal with it  B)

I would like to see more grown humor so long as it's not taken too far. I myself don't have any ideas, but now you have my opinions :lol:

Makes the characters more believable and realistic, that they undergo the same situations and feel the same emotions enough to swear at.

 

As far as phrases go, I'd like to hear them say "mother of Celestia, Oh Celestia darn it, curse you to tartarus, I'll think of more.

What are your thoughts on the show staff getting away with using strong language...

This would imply they're "getting away" with anything. There is no law or even stigma against the words they use so they have no need to "get away" with anything. And injecting the fandom's words ("buck you") into the show would just be annoying, honestly.

 

As for a curse I'd like to see "ponified"...How about the Plagues of Egypt? That'd be pretty awesome. :lol:
