Music to (sort of) cuss by

Bad boys of Rock that are still well-mannered enough to not quite swear in their band name.

By the way, these types of expressions are referred to as "minced oaths", which allow people to feel like they're cussin' even when they're technically not. A pretty exhaustive list can be found at Wikipedia. Some of them are pretty obscure/ridiculous. I mean really. Jason Crisp? Muddy Funster? Who says these?

And I never suspected that Sylvester The Cat's famous catchphrase "Sufferin' Succotash!" (or more accurately, "Thufferin' Thuccotash!") meant... "Suffering Saviour" (or rather, "Thuffering Thaviour!")...
