None come to mind.

It would be hard. I have seen them in the ‘can’ on store shelves but that was in the South-east and south-west. Finding in New England I would expect to be highly improbable. It would almost have to be in a specialty store of some kind.

Probably but I would not expect to hear it very much. I really don’t remember hearing very much ‘substitute’ cursing. And what I did hear or rarely use would be considered mild today. -- Maybe ‘drat’, ‘cr*p’
