What expressions do you use the most when you're surprised?
Edited on Mon Apr-10-06 03:38 PM by mvd
I use "eek" a lot when I'm unpleasantly surprised. That one came from a childhood friend, and stuck.

I use "hooray!" a lot when pleasantly surprised.

10. My six-year-old says "Holy Guacamole!"
I love it when she yells that. :loveya:

I think I say something less charming, like "Holy crap!"

21. Let's see:

  • "Holy fuck!" can be either good or bad.
  • Ditto with "Holy shit!"
  • "Damn it!" is bad
  • "Shit!" is bad
  • "Fuck!" is bad


Geesh, they're all profane, aren't they....

:evilgrin:
