A thought occured to me as I was sitting at work today. Don't
ask me why I thought of this, it's just how I come up with ideas and
questions.
Anyway. In English and western society we have phrases of
surprise and frustration that are not considered "swearing" although
some come close to it if you're of the right religion.
examples:
Oh for crying out loud.
For Pete's sake.
for the love of Christ
...etc...
Are there similar phrases in Japan that serve tha same purpose
as these? I don't care whether they can be given to me in Japanese or
English, I 'd just like to know. I mean, it sounds weird, and annoys me,
when someone of the Shinto/Buhdist religion says. "For the love of
Christ! Will you just stop complaining!"
Thanks for the help in advance.
Until next time
