good grief?
 


никто не подскажет, как можно перевести "good grief" в данном контексте?

всё, что я до сих пор нагуглил, как-то никак не катит.

Вот, нагуглил.

2. Good: (used by itself or together with other words as in "good-night," etc.)

a. The word "good" is often used as an adjective with a descriptive intent by comparison. However, the etymology of the word shows that it is not an innocent word when used as an interjection. Etymology: from the word "gods;" Anglo-Saxon, god, akin to German, Gut.

b. Used as an interjection: "In some exclamatory phrases expressing surprise, consternation, etc. (e.g. good gracious! good-grief! good-night!) Good is an euphemism for God. " That includes forms of the word goodness, even when we personalize and say "goodness me," there is a wrong connotation and it is just a replacement for being able to use the name of the Lord.

Звучит убедительно.

о, это "горячо", спасибо! то есть? это означает примерно то же, что и "помилуй боже, боб!", только в разговороной практике "god" заменился на "good". ага

зы: интересно, что "ага" печатается как "fuf", если не переключить клавиатуру :)

А "СУКА" превращается в CERF. Считаю, сколько у этого сокращения разных расшифровок:
Civil Engineering Research Foundation
Canine Eye Registration Foundation
Curriculum and Education Resource Finder
Collège des Enseignants en Radiologie de France
Computers and Electronics Romanian Fair
... and counting
