I choose...to be the best me I can be, to be the strongest me I can be, to learn the most I can. I don't know what comes next. But I'm gonna go into it balls to the walls, flames in my hair, and full speed ahead.

I'm fond of exclaiming "sausages" - quite some satisfaction in the sibilance there; or "well just bummer" or "bu**ar bum balls" In moments of extreme stress when I was working (paid sort) I'd go outside and deep breathe under the lemon scented gum - that was always good. Otherwise it's just the go-to words usually printed using asterisks and such. . .

my mother grew up getting yelled at in Sicilian dialect by her stepfather and it must have been pretty bad (or maybe that part of her brain didn't get developed) because she never said anything in anger, ever (if we weren't practically biological clones I'd wonder if I'm even related to her).
We do a lot of multilingual threatening, but all in good fun. The dog, particularly, is often told that his tail is going to end up in the soup if he doesn't stop doing whatever annoying thing he's up to. Still, my most frequent utterance is probably the good old "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!"
(many years ago we had nursing care in-home when we lived in Rhode Island. the combination of crusty yankee personality and seen-it-all nurses was very fertile ground for diversified vocabulary!! one time my daughter's feeding tube came out and nobody, from the nurses to the chief GI surgeon, could get it back in. We heard some pretty salty talk that day.... hats off to nurses and hospital staff!!)
