A Moment Of Shock

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.

In French

Merde! (or, if you're slightly more calm, Mon Dieux (sp?)(Or, apparently, Sacre Bleu, although I've no idea if this is accurate or just someone's idea of what French people exclaim.)

In German, I'd imagine there's all kinds of things you could say. German is a great language to swear in, since even saying something as innocuous as "Would you like some tea?" comes out sounding like you want their mother butchered by crazy gophers and staked out for the rest of the summer.

Konnt ich mich schon selbst befruchten!

...Sorry. That's prolly a bit long for your purposes and is not in any way topical. I just thought it was a perfect example of what blackbyrd2 was saying.

Liz says that's a badly conjugated way of saying "I want to fertilize myself!"

Badly conjugated? *sigh* Till Lindemann, you suck at your first language. Either that or Liz sucks at it. But I wouldn't put it past you.
