As many know, I don't curse. But there are times when something needs to be expelled verbally, like when you grab a hot pan handle, or stick your hand in too hot dishwater.
When I was a child, there was a cartoon called "Tennesee Tuxedo". One of the cartoons that played with it were the characters "Go-Go-Gophers" The character that was the Tribal Chief frequently exclaimed, "Oopey-Doopey!". For some odd reason, that I will never know, this has become my exclamation of choise whenever I touch something hot. Of course, this is just for mild to moderate heat that doesn't actually cause skin damage. Really hot stuff gets shorter, more consice explatives, though again, they are not cuss-words. Interestingly enough, my youngest daughter, now twenty-one, says the same thing under the same circumstances, and it fits her bubbly, slightly whackey personality. And besides, it's just fun to say. It's almost as good as frank Zappa's "Great Googlymoogally" And yes, when she was very small, that same daughter was my "Great-googlymoogaly-girl" , with the explanation given to her that she was so cute that people who saw her for the first time, they would exclaim the phrase. It made her feel special to be my Great-googly-moogly-girl.
I find it enjoyable to play with language silliness. And I love the funny way people look at you when you say, "Oopey-dupey that's hot!" as you quicly let go of something you shouldn't have grabbed. It catches them off gaurd.
