For times when I need to show the uptmost contempt and, more importantly, real *venom*, I've recently adopted shitstain. For times when the need to rip is not so important, I like asshat and douchebag.
I don't, in general, restrain from using religious words - depends on the religion. If I'm with religious friends I might, simply out of respect to them, but not out of the ideology that restrains me from using phrases like "that's gay" as a negative. This is because most of my blasphemous swearz involve Jesus, and Christians are a privileged group in western society, where I am doing the swearing.
Wibble is an injoke between me and Jan, wherein I have trained my brain to automatically say Wibble when it's about to say cunt. XKCD makes me want to say adjective ass-noun even *more*, because it cracks me up, but it's not something I was in the habit of doing so it doesn't tend to occur.
Do you know what your autoswear is? Your autoswear is swearword that just bursts out of you in rage or pain without you stopping to actually pick a phrase. The best way to find this out is to accidentally slip over on an icy footpath into the gutter full of dirty rotting leaves in your nice jacket just as a car comes past. Mine was Jesus Christ! as of 2008, am not sure if it remains the same. It may have absorbed more Fuckings since then.
