Hello,
I'm trying to come up with a list of common interjections to jazz up my spoken English. Having no problems with 'aw', 'duh' or 'huh', I realized there are too many ways to express annoyance or surprise. What I've got so far is:
expressing annoyance/anger/disappointment
darn!
rats!
drat!
blast!
shit! (impolite)
damn! (impolite)
(I won't use the last two much:-D)
expressing surprise
jeez
gee
gosh
goodness
whoa
Are any of them hopelessly dated? Are there any other commonly used interjections that can be added to the lists?
Thank you!
