Favorite Non-Vulgar Saying?

[javafroggi]

So I was reading Amie's post about the wind knocking over her trash cans, and LOVED how she said "Holy Cheese". It got me to thinking about what everyone says when something goes wrong and you're in an environment where you can't swear.

For example, some of my favorites are:

"Crap Monkeys!" and...

"Son of a Biscuit!"

What about you guys?

[Amie]

Um, thanks for the compliment. And I like this thread idea -- it sounds really fun!

I tell people they can "suck my socks" -- that's probably a bit too vulgar for this thread though. (Like I didn't totally just put it on here anyway)

I love it when people say "Holy _____ Batman!" (fill in blank with "tax forms, or lawn mowers, or pumpernickel, whatever you want.)

Well I go with the all purpose "geez".

My daughter goes for "cheese and rice" - which is something I have never heard anyone else say and for which she takes a lot of ribbing!

My son says "Oh snap!!"

I usually say Zut (pronounced zoot)- which is french, but no one around me knows that!

haha, these are great! I also love saying "scheisse", which is basically German for 'poo', but sounds all fancy.
