(Quoting my father-in-law)
Bob, who hit his foot with a heavy hammer, was probably thinking
these words at the time of his pain: "Oh, oh, I wish I hadn't
done that!"
(The absurdity of this is knowing that we are rarely this
sane when in pain. It is even funnier if you say it in a sing-song
manner!)
Another alternative is to quote Yosimite Sam (the cartoon character)
and say, "Rosen ricken racken fracken!"

many aspects of the language
