The Curse-Tuary: Your DIY Guide to Delightfully Decent Expletives
By Annie Rowen

Tired of dropping four-letter bombs when life throws you curveballs? Wish you could express frustration without sounding like a pirate on laundry day? Welcome to The Curse-Tuary—a hilariously helpful self-help book that invites you to ditch the dirty words and build a sparkling new vocabulary of your own.

In this delightfully quirky guide, Annie Rowen shows you how to transform your knee-jerk expletives into laughter-filled, soul-soothing nonsense—think “Fluffernutter!” instead of the other F-word. Whether you’re yelling at your Wi-Fi, stepping on Legos, or dealing with a customer service robot from the underworld, this book helps you swap out the usual suspects for custom-crafted phrases that are just as satisfying… and way more fun.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Invent your own wildly creative "curse-tuaries"

• Build a personalized Ersatz Expletive Word Bank

• Train your brain to react with humor instead of heat

• Share your sparkle-powered language with others (yes, even your boss)

With 12 laugh-out-loud chapters, playful reflection prompts, and wisdom disguised as whimsy, The Curse-Tuary isn’t just a language detox—it’s a hilarious rewire of your reactions.

If you've ever shouted something regrettable at a printer, a pothole, or your own reflection… this book is for you.

Let’s make language fun again—one giggle-powered phrase at a time.
