i've never understood how "mother father" is supposed to be even remotely viable as a replacement, it sounds utterly nonsensical. Are we talking my maternal grandpa? My paternal grandma? Or maybe we're talking about someone's hermaphrodite parent?
I think it's just supposed to sound somewhat similar.
i get that, but when replacing a curse it still has to make sense, like "shut the front door" instead of "shut the fuck up"
"mother father" just sounds like that weird old american device that would read closed captions on the TV and replace curses with softer words, but wasn't advanced enough to process grammar.
