@jlink @eclectech well yes, of course there are expletives, but what's in widespread use is of limited creativity. Expressing the balance of rage and ennui inherent in a well-delivered "oh, for fucks' sake" is not the Hochdeutsch way. Pick one, express it precisely.

@eclectech In German, much of this is regional; "high German" does not have much colour. What I can think of is from southern dialects:

"Kreuz, Birnbaum und Hollerstauden!" - "Cross, pear tree, and elder bushes!". I'm given to understand that the etymology is "start a religiously loaded curse, but then change it to something you won't have to bring up at confession". Mostly it's satisfying to yell.

"Himmel, Arsch und Wolkenbruch" (or "... und Zwirn" or "... und Schornsteinfeger") - "heaven, arse, and sudden torrential rain" / "... and sewing thread" / "... and chimney sweep". Again, just very yellable, etymology otherwise unknown and probably unnecessary.

"Heilandzack!" shortened from "Heilands Sakrament" – "Saviour's sacrament".
