I can say a number of fairly nasty words but when things get really bad, I resort to
Flying fishcakes! or I don't give a flying fishcake what you think....you cinnamon bun!
Pasta fazool!
bilgewater!

Hak mir nicht kahn chine ik (phonetic) means don't chop me a tea kettle or some such or BS!

My dad's fav was "sacre nom de la vache" - with great vigour.

My son resorted to just plain nonsense syllables said with great venom. It really is the mode of expression, the feeling behind the words that helps us express the feelings of annoyance. Any growl or snarl would do.

Teacher at the alt HS gave me full points the other day, "I really like the way you transitioned that!" SHHEEESH!

robomatic: I have never heard "Frigging in the rigging" used as an expletive, tho it would certainly be an expressive one. In the chorus of "The Good Ship Venus", however, it is to be taken literally:

    Frigging in the rigging,
    Wanking on the planking,
    Buggery in the snuggery --
    There's fuck-all else to do.

N.B. In Britain frigging, like wanking, means masturbating.

Does anyone think Poppycock sounds worse now than when it was in common usage? James May on TV uses the second syllable, often.

Another Pratchett one, although I heard it earlier.   ...'KIN' or 'K' used explosively, as in "You 'kin' idiot!"

A guy I know, when upset, will exit muttering 'Fossilfossilfossil..."-

One I learned a few decades ago has served me very well:

RADAFRADAFORDASEEDASAW!

Okay, it is a little difficult to sort in that form and so I'll break it down for you: Rada Frada Forda Seeda Saw! (All the a's are short, as in the word, hat.) This word is especially effective when used as something you mutter under your breath. It sounds every bit as emphatic as anything Popeye might have muttered - I think even better. Shouting it also delivers a certain amount of relief when used after smashing a finger - or such has been my experience.

The word has other uses as well. One of my favorites is to whisper it in someone's ear, but to do so with a degree of urgency in your voice. This works quite well in bars or other places where there is lots of loud stuff going on around you. The recipient of the whisper will try desperately to figure out the message which you are happy to repeat as many times as needed with the same degree of urgency.

Slag, "Sacrebleu" is French, "bleu" is a substitute for "Dieu" to avoid blasphemy and we have some others with this "bleu", though they're generally out of use or sound very old-fashioned

Guest: "Poppycock" is a word that has managed to rise on the rating scale. It originally meant "soft shit".
