You could try watching some old Yosemite Sam cartoons. My father's harshest epithet was "potlicker" (a worthless dog, not what's left after cooking collards), teamed with "ignorant" in extreme cases. I picked it up from him and years after I pulled the pin they said you could tell the rookies I had broken in because they now used it, too.
I would consider the English "W*nker" suggested above to be potentially quite crude! The meaning varies a bit with context, accent, and intensity.
So, I recommend foreign languages.
I can't in good conscience list these uncensored, but maybe offer some clues. Hmmm..
From our friends in Italy (that's a hint so you can use a translator to fill out the complete spelling for these colorful terms).
As DWalt suggested above, context, pronunciation, and geography (!) can have a big effect on their true meaning. My "Raggazzi" used these all the time in mixed company. When used with a soft casual tone nobody nearby seemed particularly offended or shocked. Ramp it up a bit and add a hand gesture, though, and things get spicy! In fact, hand gestures change everything.
So, these are the classics:
"V*f*nc*lo", or it's shortened "F*nc*lo", or "C*zz*"…
A few phrases are good, too: "Chi c*zzo credi di assere" is a lovely saying.
"S*cchia" is good when accompanied by a hand gesture (no not that one!). Put an accent on the hard consonant.
In fact, my "Raggazzi" often tried to trick me into saying things when I occasionally needed linguistic assistance. (The following is not profanity, but might create some laughs, or get you in trouble with the wifey) "Hey Jim, tell that girl "Fa caldo qui, o sei tu?"
Of course, our German friends are masters.
Start with "Sch**s"
It has multiple meanings, depending on context.
The nice thing is, with a practiced pronunciation, they can be either kinda cute or very edgy.

Several years ago a good friend hosted some German girls in their early 20s for a church mission exchange. To he, and his wife's surprise, they swore like sailors and the "F" word was their special favorite. Faced with the same dilemma as the OP they had to come up with a socially acceptable alternative. As they were German the collective decision was "Was da hecken?" Long after the girls returned home my friends still use the term as do I. Remember the "w" is pronounced as a "v" in Deutsch

Do you sing? Try some show tunes .. ones with a punchy start. Stuff from "The Sound of Music" or "Guys and Dolls".
WC Fields had many creative expressions; "Godfrey Daniel" is the only one comes to mind though. Joe
When referring to another persons actions, "Buzzard puke" or piece of Buzzard Puke seem to fit.
A co-worker was surprised when the first complete sentence from his two year-olds mouth happened at a stop light. It was something like "go ya dumb witch". His wife was less than pleased.

The reboot of Battlestar Galactica used "frack" a lot. Then, there's always "flucker/plucker". A sci-fi book series used "spec".

I was driving my toddler daughter to my mom's house when another car cut me off.
Not thinking I blurted out a profanity.
It wasn't 2 minutes my daughter paraphrased my profanity.
Clearly understandable.
I told her that what I said was bad and I was wrong and for her never too say it.
Now after college, she could probably teach me some phrases/words
