Thread: Exclamations

The exclamation "gah!" - what emotion does it mean? what Russian interjection is the closest?

Good grief - it's translated as "Боже мой" or "Какой ужас", but I had a feeling it's used in a more ironic way than that.

I think "gah" is an expression of disgust. I personally never use this expression.
Do you have the context where you heard this expression?

it was in a chat, so I cannot give the exact context

yes, it was kinda disapproving

I'm not sure what was meant by "gah". I've honestly never heard that before.

"Good grief" - can have multiple meanings depending on the context. Most likely used in a somewhat negative context like when someone does something very stupid you may say "Good Grief" while rolling your eyes.

Does anyone actually say "good grief" anymore? It sounds like something a 75 year old woman would say.

Yes, but Charlie Brown speaks circa 1950 (not to mention the sad fact that his creator died a couple years ago). Gomer Pyle said "Shazaam!!" but I don't exactly see tons of kids saying that today...
