My coworkers would giggle whenever I say "ah fuck".

But one time I dropped the "oh fuck" and they all rushed over to help.

Great coworkers.

... fuck = "this will probably end the world."

… welp = “it’s over, make peace with your god”

Or just "...oh"

holy fuck = “I don’t even realize this catastrophic error could exist.”

Could also be "what are you even on about?"

A small but important distinction.

It's like a universal rule that the size of the exclamation is inversely correlated to the side of the mistake.

Ex: "Motherfucker!" Would probably follow something like a stubbed toe, or losing a game to a little mistake. Whereas a tiny little "whoops" is probably going to burn down buildings.

If there isn't a name for the phenomena, there should be.

Ruh roh: dying in a hurricane on a ship in the middle and the ocean

[-] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

There actually is a ship log where the final message was indeed "Run roh" I'll see if I can find the sauce

"Motherfucker!" Would probably follow something like a stubbed toe

Can't confirm, a stubbed toe would be "ouch!" or "shit!" for me.

Ruh roah... We are all collectively about to die

Monday morning at a software company dude walks into the bathroom smelling like stale tequila. Sits on the toilet next to my stall. Grunts, moans, says exactly this. Proceeds to have explosive diarrhea and pukes on his shoes. It was 7am. What a start to the week. He just powered through. Ran his shoes under the sink and simply went to work. Something tells me this wasn't his first rodeo.

When you go from
low back unrounded to
high-mid back rounded
you know there’s trouble.
