*****'in of shit?

...In Polish, that's "JASSSSNA CHOLERA!!!". We often do the "s" a lot longer, to emphasise the importance of the "holy" shit. Interesting note, it doesn't refer to feces, but to the disease.

Still, I like to say "God damn it!!" or "The fuck...", usually when something stupid happens, like... failing to catch the bus, or being crit-hitted by a Syringe in TF2.
Yeah that's a relatively accurate translation, there's no direct translation for it ^^

No, no, there is a reason why we put you there you know: so you don't terrorise the rest of us.

Anyways, over here in good ol' Britain I guess we'd say either "by golly" or "cor blimey!" or something.

edit: I guess the Japanese equivalent would be 「マジで?!」. (although directly translated that actually means "really!?", its the closest equivalent I can think of right now...)

Then something disparaging about black folk.
I live in the South, you see.

That sounds surprisingly like Texas.

for me, its gotta be the, admittedly not used often, 'FUCKMONKEY!!!' or some such strange one, that said, i am a geordie, so we don't have that much that stands in for 'holy crap' besides 'shit' and variants thereof...

on a side note, if i want to get rid of someone who is really pissing me off, i could say 'ahh, go take your face for a shite', anyone else know any strange phrases like that?

Yes, I know it's not mine and not original, but meh.

"Conchatumadre"
If something went wrong, with many variants (conchemimare, chatumare, chesumadre, conchetupico)

"Puta la wea!"
If its in anger.

In my house you could hear "holy crap" and "holy shit" but its usually "GORRAM IT!"

"Anda a freir monos a Africa"
"Desconchetumadrisate"

Depends on the context.

If its something thats just kinda crazy, I'll say "Holy Crap" or "Bloody Hell" but if its something much more serious, I'd say either "Ba-chi Balls!!" or "Holy **** on a **** sandwich with **** on top and an extra helping of ****!!!"

We say something along the lines of, "Hohhh, damn!"
I'm currently trying to support putting the phrase, "Sweet zombie Jesus!" into the Lawrencian lexicon.

You could always emigrate here to the UK. Although I'd be a bit wary then of living in the same vicinity of you, assuming you take vicinity to mean your danger zone (which would basically be most of Europe if you were in the UK). :)

Anyway, on topic. I just say Holy Crap, or any generic swear word or curse (examples are "Dammit!", "Shit", "Bloody Hell", etc.)

Depends on the situation. Sometime's I'll just say it streight, but if it's a sufficiently big 'Holy Crap' moment, I'll say it something like Marty McFly from Back to the Future.
Or "This is heavy!"
Or "Great Scott!" on occasion.

"kanonne!" or just "jezus!". First one means 'cannons' but it's not that common (mostly me I think) here. I don't think I need to tell you what the second one means.

'flikker op' is pretty common... translates into 'fag off' :p

PIS! (danish for piss, we're smart enough to save obne of the s'es for later use :p) or just fuck, while not a danish word, it's so well integrated into the danish language that we use it for anything, except for it's actual meaning (porking, screwing etc.) we've got lots of words for that already.

I actually use holy shit/holy fuck a lot.
