Convictions for me? I do not use slang curse words nor do I let my children. This is probably one that goes without saying, but I see no difference in saying the real cuss word or the slang. It all means the same.
My family does not swear either. One of my children said, "I swear" and it just went all over me. He's heard it from somewhere and I explained we don't say that.
We may be get upset or something and say, "oh man!" but we will NOT let any of our children say God's name in vain, or ever geesh or gosh. ( forgive me for writing it) Under no circumstances is that appropiate.

One of my major pet peeves is hearing Christians say, "Oh my God". I have worked my kids over on that one, and they are grown. But I will not allow it to be said around me. It's a very hard habit to break, especially when you hear so many preachers say it too.
Also, I can't stand "I swear". That one is a no-no in my house too.
