Attention, speakers or studiers of European languages!
 
I need three interjections.
 
Say you’re in the shower, doing whatever it is you’re normally doing in the shower. Shampooing up, singing opera, making those shower faces, generally in the state of meditative zen nowness that is The Shower, and you turn around AND SEE A HAIRY SPIDER THE SIZE OF YOUR FIST HANGING IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE JEEZUS CHRIST!
 
Assuming you are a native speaker, aside from the generic “AAAAAGH”, what do you yell in:
 
-German?
-French?
-Russian?
 
Bonus points if the Russian exclamation can also be provided in the Cyrillic alphabet.

it means whore-son or son of a whore, something like that. Syn Sljuxi* according to a scholarly translation.

Now I'm not quite sure how to pronounce it, mind you. I end up reading more than I do speaking and that includes English.

*The second S is one with one of those u shaped things over it so it's more of an sh sound
