Now, I realize most people don't use this phrase the way I do, but I like it. It conveys exactly how I'm feeling at any moment, and I don't have to rely on common words/phrases like: "crap", "oh dear", "I need a nap", "you have got to be kidding me", "dang it", etc. It tends to come up a lot in my speech... You'll see why.
