sugar is used quite commonly here in aus by at least my mothers generation (40-65 yr olds... she is 48)
those who grew up with the brady bunch (although she never watched)
another expression is:
Sugar, Honey, Iced Tea... an annogram for....
that is said as a way to change course after one finds one-self begining to pronounce S***... in orde to sound not so crass
i guess it works better when said then when written, so i wouldne use it much in a fanfic (perhaps martha or Jonathon would say it... ellen is too prim and propper to mutter any crass laguage and sam is too sophisticated i guess to need superlatives...
