In my semi-polyglot brainie, _merde_ is more emphatic than _shit_,
mayhaps cuz one of my nastier exclamations is "Sacre merde bleu!!"
OBCONLANG: In GomiiLego, _maemmaan aen/en bab'laan!_ (Mammon and/in
Babel-on/Babylon!) , _bizn'zz caca!_ (Business/Capitalist Shit), and _ mija
caca!_ (Maya/Materialistic Illusion Shit!) are expletive, negative
exclamations.
Some positive exclamations:
_lol!_
_gomi!_
_liila!_ (from Sanskrit _lila_ - divine creative play/sport/whimsy),
_saekra-zen!_ (Holy Zen!) and
_datsuzoguugo!_ (from Japanese "datsuzoku" - surprise in creativity - +
"googol")
