"First you have to explain that there is a Hell. You can also explain that you occasionally like to use euphemisms while is why you used the term that you did use and I am assuming you used Sam's Hill.

If I remember correctly there is a site called Dictionary.Com and the meaning there will say: the substitution of a mild, indirect, or vague expression for one thought to be offensive, harsh, or blunt.

Now I suggest that you apologize, saying that you do like to play pranks and try to get the better of your brothers. You could even tell a little bit about how the three of you are a bit competitive in finding ways to outdo each other. Also be careful of what you say and do from now on. Any other specific questions?"
