Thanks for the responses everyone, they are very helpful. I am a male but grew up as fake Novus ordo catholic so I am not used to saying these prayers in response to others blasphemy.

I have written then down. Hopefully I will be able to make use of them at the appropriate times. I am usually stumped when people use our Lord's name in vain (as I dont expect itl) and by the time I think of a response it's already done

Also how to deal with slang like "geez" or "jeez" etc?

Also again, due to my upbringing I will often have intrusive thoughts about blasphemy of the Holy Name or the name God. I know that thoughts alone aren't sins unless you consent to them but it's very frustrating as I do not want to even have these lest I sin.

My husband just makes the Sign of the Cross when he hears Our Lord's name taken in vain. The person then may inquire to why, then a conversation can start.

My spouse and I do the same. It usually causes embarrassment and the offender checks himself

Here is G.K. Chesterton's handling of blasphemy as only G.K. could do:
