I need exclamations

[Barbas]

I'm running a bit short of interesting exclamations to adequately display the extent of my surprise, outrage and delight. Please provide me with some ideas and I'll start using the ones I like more often.

Try to restrain yourselves while doing so. I just need interesting exclamations, I don't need strings of expletives that'd make Guy Ritchie blush. Extra points for creative wordplay that avoids cussin' entirely.

"Oh, son of a Montague!" - Heard that from someone.

"THE NAKED! WHY THE NAKED?! - The REALLY Wild Wasteland.

"Mon Canard Est En Feu!" - 'My duck is on fire', from Schlock Mercenary.


"The plushies are attacking!" - Just made it up.

"What IS this clusterflux?!" - One of mine (referring to breaks in time or reality, or non-euclidean stuff).


Aaand that's all I got right now.

A strong start. I feel sorry for whoever has to follow those, to be frank.

Please, don't be Frank. He was funny at first, but after a while he got increasingly more god-mode-y to the point of trying to kill a giant robot on his own. By that point, I had to let him go. (Wild Wasteland joke.)

Not to be a killjoy or anything, but I think trying deliberately to stuff unusual words into conversation just to make yourself seem more interesting/intelligent is kind of petty and impotent, like wearing a leather jacket when you don't ride a motorcycle, or getting an edgy tattoo. Besides, if your reactions are REALLY genuine, you won't have time to remember witty phrases and will just blurt out generic "oh my gods" and "what the fucks" like anyone else.

But if you're just asking because funny phrases are fun to say, I suppose I can't argue with that.

It's not swearing to invoke the devil, is it? Because I always liked the sound of "SATAN'S BUNIONS!!"

I can sometimes hardly say "biscuits brown" in my head without giggling, so yes, words are indeed fun to say. I am also unbelievably bored right now. If I had a jar of pencils handy, I'd be playing danger darts with the ceiling tiles.

When I was a kid my mum had a few odd things she'd yell when she was angry.

"Fuck a duck!"

"Scutah muvgah". (Spelling that phonetically. It means "shit and eggs" in Greek. Pronounced with a soft 'g'. Apparently that was what my grandma would yell at her whenever she asked what was for dinner.)

They still make me chuckle.

There is always the classics

"Needle-nardle-noo"
"Sapristi"
"Pompet"
"Nyuckobakakas"

and the infamous trapeze artists "Novak and Good" (hint say the name allowed, in a British accent and quickly)

There will always be "Blathering Blatherskite!". I'll let you track down the origin.

 

[Thaluikhain]

"Cor blimey", which started out as "God, blind me", "Struth" which started out as "God's Truth".

In Australia, we also have "Far out", which I suspect usually starts out as "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFffffffffffffff...ar out". There was also "By Jove", which I suspect might have been partially started out as "J-" and not wanting to take the Lord's name in vain, so you take a pagan deity's name in vain instead.

However, all of these are rather old, or very old.

My childhood called. It wants its little-known catchphrases back. (Yeah, I didn't even need to think about that one.)

I just remembered a weird one from Book of Bantorra: "Dammit, I'm going to heaven!".

I also tend to go into speaking in tongues or make up words like "Blarghenstein!", and borrow words from Strong Bad like "Grumblecakes".

"What the biscuit!" I picked this up from Pksparkks in recent months. It's a great way to show your frustration, without swearing.

I also enjoy saying "That's Bullsquid!" as well. You can thank the Splatoon SFM video "The Inkvader" for that treasure.

"Sweet Land of Goshen!" is another favorite of mine. You say it when you are shocked about something. It's a really old saying, and I know Goshen is a place mentioned in the Bible. I used to think it was "Sweet 'Lantic Ocean!" I guess both are fun to say. The key to saying it properly is to sound like an old prospector.

Here you go.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

That should hold you on exclamations for a little while at least. xD

OT: I really can't think of any good ones off the top of my head.

When something delightful happens: "Praise the Pie!" It's best if you try to sound like one of those evangelical American preachers as you say it.

So you mean like "Puh-RAISE this-AH, PIE-YAH! YES LAWD!!" ?

Yep! May you be baptised in gravy, as our crust was millennia ago.

'Shit the bed!' is my go-to.

Can ya feel the healin' goin' on?

Those have a certain antiquated charm to them, like "jumping gymnasii" or "galloping genitives".

 

[happyninja42]

"By Thor's Scrotum!" usually used to describe something good. "Thor's Scrotum! That's good mead!"

"By Sagan's Turtleneck!"

"May thy knife, chip and shatter!"
