From goodreads and its Dorothy Parker quote collection (these were too good not to post) and yes, please substitute the original for the euphemism:

"Tell him I was too effing busy-- or vice versa.”

And:

“In youth, it was a way I had,
To do my best to please.
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.

But now I know the things I know
And do the things I do,
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.”

- Dorothy Parker
