Tried that myself, actually. Back in 2003, when that silly "Freedom Fries" thing came up, my response was not to remove France from vocabulary, but to *add* it. "I had to go to the frenchroom and take a chirac, but there wasn't a roll of francepaper."
But to be truly effective, a good expletive has to *sound* harsh. And French... just doesn't.
