Well, sorry that "darn" doesn't cut it for you. But I never hear foul language 'in context'. It just litters the conversation the way broken beer bottles litter a hiking trail - and with similar effect.
You only need stronger words if you use the less-strong ones frequently. I don't say "drat" often, but when I do it has the effect for me that the f-word has for some of my colleagues.
Foul language is like auditory smoking; do it all you like, but I'm not going to hang around while you do so.

That's fine. I can't stand the weak-stomached.

Well spoken, and worth repeating. I'm sure that your parents are proud!
