I use "oh, fuck ME!" or, Adam Sandler-style, "oh, fuck me in the goat ass!" as his sanguine goat character used to say.
But for public use, there's "DANG!" and "oh, god BLESS it!" in tones that make perfectly clear what I really have in mind.
I like owldaughter's "Oh, QUACK!" above, but not mournfully. I think I'd use it for things like slamming my hand in the door in the presence of a little 'un.
Phnee, when I worked for the prison system, my vocabulary was...that of the prison system. Also, everyone is fussing about ex-Governor Blagojevich and his wife swearing so casually—I assure you, in Illinois politics (mostly in Chicago) that is dead-common and makes all this hand-waving by pundits seem not just prudish, but hypocritical also.
