Etymology
The word blankety comes from blank, which means 'empty' or a 'blank space' where a word is left out. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine a 'blank' put in place of a rude word — blankety is a mild, polite substitute you use to show annoyance or emphasis without using a stronger word.
