I recently came across this euphamism fof "hell" from my childhood and wanted to record it for posterity. In some parts of the US, and perhaps elsewhere, "hell" is considered a swear word. Another euphamism is "heck".

From my youth (a long time ago!) there was H-E-double hockey sticks.

Helen had a steamboat
Steamboat had a bell
Took a stick of dynamite
And blew it all to
Helen had a steamboat
