<stubs toe> dagnabbit!
(transl: "i'm very dissatisfied right now.")
<chatting to fabulous woman, then wander off instead of asking her out, then realise what i've done. and fail to go back> dagnabbit!
(transl: "i'm very disappointed in myself.")
<favourite team lose an easy match to a weaker team> dagnabbit!
(transl: "i'm disillusioned with their performance.")
it's not as harsh as that 'f' word. and is certainly more ironic :)
do you know where frack and frell come from?
[the spellcheck feature offered these words as alternatives for "dagnabbit": "dingbat, dignity, turnabout, downbeat, decant, gunboat, dogsbody, DECNET, kingbird, diagnosed, dignified, tugboat". i'm not sure which of them is funnier <grin>]

just gone brain dead about but will get
back to you on that. Frack not sure, but think that is from a science fiction cartoon, the name evades me tonight too.

frack is used in the new battlestar galactica [which is awesome - real sci-fi.]
