No, it is a replacement for a cuss word.

It certainly is not.

ANS2 (or maybe 3) Inasmuch as "heck" is a substitute for "H" and "cuss" is a substitute for "curse", it is. H is generally considered to be a curse...the short form for telling somebody to go there or invoking the wrath of Satan. It is not unreasonable to consider heck to be a cuss...The same way that H is a curse. It certainly is not one of those that would get you kicked out of school. It is sort of like flipping somebody off with your index finger.

I grew up in Western Washington state, USA in the 1950s. Occasionally, I'd hear my father (also grew up in Western Washington State) talk about something being "scattered from heck to breakfast," or similar phrasing. The phrase was always with the word "from" as in "from heck to breakfast." It seemed to have to do with things being destroyed in a BIG way. I don't know if this is a regional phrase or if he picked it up while participating in WWII. Examples of sentences: "That engine exploded and blew parts from heck to breakfast." "The side of her grain bag split and the corn went from heck to breakfast." In his vocabulary, "heck" was a synonym for "Hell." He also used a phrase, "to Hell and back," as in, "it was blown to hell and back," with the same inflection and similar connotation.

Some people can censor the word heck like the f word (if they are a Christian) but I think it is not a swear word.
