    Here's your answer Gypsy: Say "Feel Good" because doesn't it feel good to sneeze?

    When I was bamboozled in I thought, oh bummer, can't say bless you. So I came up with "Feel Good". I said it for years, still do sometimes.

    Can't pick up a greeting card that has the word "wish" or "wishes" i.e. "Best wishes".

    @KiddingMe - Or with horseshoes on the front.

    Can't clink glasses with friends when you meet up for a drink.
    Can't say "to us!" or anything similar.

    Can't have a party, has to be a get-together.

    Some are as sensitive about 'fortunately' as they are about 'luckily'. In this case use 'happily'.

    Euphemisms such as Gee! Jeepers Creepers! Crumbs! Gosh! can all get a raised eyebrow.

    You're sailing close to the wind if you use the word Bloody in context.

    The internet is a really good place for research

    We'll contact the legal department after we call the police

    I'm going to spend the whole of saturday morning down the gym

    We are so lucky to have the UN fighting for our human rights

    That ex-JW became really successful and is quite happy since leaving

    Just for fun, I have a few...

    "Wow, that Trinity stuff really makes sense..."

    "So, I was talking with Jesus today and..."

    "I've been dating this Catholic girl..."

    "I think I hear Santa and his reindeer..."

    "So, if I join the Armed Forces, they'll pay for college?"

    "And then I can get a Master's Degree?"

    "That's a lot of candles on my birthday cake"

    "Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so..."
