Phrases to properly express your anger?

Dave Amitri's picture

In the good Captains "Basket Only" thread futurenoir uses the phrase "boils my piss" to express his displeasure at using exits as entrances types in his local Waitrose. It reminded me of an ex colleague who used the similar "grips my shit" whenever something irked him. Are there any other phrases you use to express your anger at lifes little annoyances?

I've a strong notion that...

...the bottomless well of mute disbelief and trampled resignation that typically characterises a given working day in an NHS hospital can only be properly expressed in Russian, which unfortunately I don't speak.

In moments of extreme anger I have been known to utter the phrase:

"In the name of c**ting Christ."

I am especially fond of this blasphemous rosary of foul language as, in common with the holy trinity, it's offensiveness is threefold, likely to upset anyone who abhors the word "c**t", the deeply religious, and those defenders of English grammer who can't abide the idea of a noun (the afore-mentioned 'c**t') being panel-beaten in a verb.

I like to spread my rage around and infect other people with it.

Could another version of the holy trinity be...

c**t, C****t and Con******ive?

Colours!!

was the first exclamation of a girl I once new at the initial onset of rage. This would then be followed by a series of colours - lighter for a mild tantrum and darker for violent, uncontrollable anger. The
darker the colour, the louder she would shout. So, it could go "Colours!! Green, Blue, BROWN, BLACK!!!". I would be on my way at Brown. Her reason for this was that she didn't like using 'conventional' swear-words and this helped get out those pent-up emotions. Fuckin' crazy!

No, not Magnolia,

I think she was a Catherine or Maria Polydorou perhaps. Deffo not a Magnolia. Maybe you should go back to the Modern Names v Old Names post with this one?

Yours aye, Enid.

Bollocks.

It's a great, multi-purpose Anglo-Saxon word and it feels good to blast out.

An American friend

favours ‘that gets on my last gay nerve’. It helps that he’s gay, and sounds just great in a Bostonian accent.

"fucks me right off"...

is commonly used by moi.

An old friend of mine used to say "oh cuntcakes" quite frequently. I rather liked that one.

1
Patrick Crowther | 27 July 2011 - 10:05pm

This is the stuff

I will be using "oh cuntcakes" tomorrow at work, possibly if the vending machine runs out of Chunky Kit Kats again.

Stolen wholesale from Viz

I tend to use a very satisfying expletive once used by 'The Parkie'

Buggerfucktwat

I shared a house for 6 years with both an Irishman and a Scotsman and had my life enriched by them in many ways.

If things went awry for the Irish lad, we'd get many variations on the musical 'Fuckety-O'. If anyone annoyed him the transgressor was invariably told to 'fuck off and boil yer hole'

The Scottish lad used 'Gettae'. As in 'Get tae fuck'

1
Beezer | 27 July 2011 - 10:38pm

I always liked the 'Absolutely' variation

"Get Tae Falkirk!"

I have many.

Most nicked from Paul Whicker in Viz. Things still give me severe torsion of the testes, for example.

As far as rude expressions of annoyance go..

"Fucksocks!"

"Big tits!"

"Arsecakes!"

And probably a few more as well.

Lenny Law | 27 July 2011 - 11:00pm

'Big tits!'

As an expression of annoyance?

Quite delightful. I can't wait to get annoyed again just so I can shout it out.

Beezer | 27 July 2011 - 11:08pm

My first boss

used to use "that rips the fork out of my nightie" constantly, and I must say that it has stuck with me for the last 20 years. I have no idea what it means, whether the fork in question is an eating utensil or a junction, but it has just the right combination of aggression and implied smuttiness to do the trick.

Taken from Johm Martyn's Live at Leeds album, where he shouts 'shit fuck bollocks'. Used as an acronym I find it very satisfying, doubly pleased when a car I had had it as part of the numberplate.

Overheard by Bill Bryson

Works best in an Australian accent, "He was farting sparks".

Personally like the one we use the abbreviation FFS for.

Also been known to say "Tee double eff tee" at the point where annoyance becomes relief, eg. when someone has not just fucked off, but fucked RIGHT off.

1
Neil Dyson | 28 July 2011 - 6:00am

"Well fuck my old boots"

Best expressed in a world-weary tone of resignation.

Also handy is "It's completely poobumwilly". Coined by my sister-in-law at the age of six as those were the three worst words she knew at the time. The exegesis of the phrase shares many of the principles outlined in previous posts.

1
skirky | 28 July 2011 - 8:36am

I had a phase...

...of saying 'cunnilingus' instead of 'c**t' when used as an expression of annoyance. As though it was a mild Latin derivative that would be inoffensive....

unlike his foul-mouthed son

My dad isn't much given to swearing, so when he does, well it is, to my twisted mind, a rare and special treat indeed. We were on a scenic drive in the Burren in Clare when we hit a pothole and on inspection saw we had a puncture. My dad stared in silence at the perforated Michelin and in the low rumbling tones of an Old Testament prophet said, with measured prosody: 'The curse of fuck on you.'
I was beside myself with delight and now save this jewel only for special occasions.

I once got a thorough bollocking at work

for saying that I'd had the sort of day that sucked a wet fart out of a dead pigeon's arse. I think I pinched the expression from somewhere, but since I can't remember where and no-one else has, I claim it as my own.

I tend to refer to annoying members of the public as 'arse-wipes' or 'arse-clowns' in my more stressful moments. 'Wombat shit' is also quite pleasing to say - not sure about hearing...

Van Dyke

Van Dyke Parks, on the recent Word podcast, used the Mississippi phrase 'that really ranked my groove' to express displeasure. No idea what it means but it sounded good with a Southern drawl.

'Van Dyke Parks' works quite well.

of mine, who was very high up in the Church, came along with some anger issues. 'It rips the living cunt out of me' was how he described his feelings when enraged.

The sudden vent of spleen

in the car may be identified by the guttural bawling of "you utter UTTER fucknuckle"

I'm neither ashamed nor proud to admit my ire may be easily raised, and that bad language is never far away in time of stress.

Looking up at that list, I don't think there's many there I haven't used. But I do like "bollocks". Particularly in America where its impact on my audience is lessened. I can use it in polite company.

sitheref2409 | 28 July 2011 - 1:32pm

Fucknuckle - brilliant

Cheese bollocks

A side note on the American use of "bollocks" - a chain of "English" restaurants in the Midwest has Cheese Bollocks as an appetiser.

"Boils my goat"

works for me.
I also like to combine swearwords into one easy to use, off the cuff thing, thus:
"C*ntbuggeringarsetw*tw*nkerbreath"
It saves time.

Stolen, but

Feckgirlsarse works for me.
In another instance, I was trying to talk one of my staff through a procedure that he had been previously been instructed upon but had got repeatedly wrong, I finished up by saying: "C'mon Harry, you know this, when I told you this the last time you were wearing your blue jumper".

geacher53 | 28 July 2011 - 7:37pm

my old mum

who rarely swore and was also religious used to say when deeply enraged, or in fact just mildly incensed

(West of Scotland accent)

In the name of Christ and all that's fucking Holy.

also Jesus fucking Christ on his bike.

I think often couldn't remember the exact utterance of the time before and there were several variations. All good.

My own current favourite is utter muppetfuckwit

A friend often screams 'He/she is a c*nt. C.*.N.T. c*nt. With all the fucking letters'. In a Spanish accent. Which feels like it to adds to the drama

Geordie is wonderful for swearing in

I won't even attempt to join in being a Southern git but when it kicks off at work I am open mouthed with admiration.

But my favourite was from an ex-girlfriend from Limerick who would yell "Jesus Mary Joseph and all the FOKKING saints"

Language!

There's an elaborately vindictive strain of verbose abuse in Salman Rushdie's marvellous early novel 'Shame' along such lines as (not an exact quote as I don't have it here, more of a pastiche) "May your syphilitic grandchildren urinate upon your pauper's grave".

Ah, a thread...

... I can really get on board with.

Lenny is correct when he says that Paul Whicker is a goldmine of creative swearing. "May the Lord have mercy on your souls, you ignorant, snivelling fuckpig" is one that has stayed with me.

From Mark & Lard: "Well, fuck my tall hat".

Billy Connolly: "Jesus Suffering Fuck" - similar in format to Cunting Christ [above].

Also, from Roddy Doyle's The Van: "Yeh poxbottle fuck, yeh!".

And cockjuggling thundercunt is from Blade: Trinity - it was on the other night. Had a bit of a splutter when I heard that.

I love swearing, me.
