#2 I don't recall there being an English version of "D'oh" either! How can you translate an invented word?

#3 There is actually a similar Danish epithet. Whenever my Copenhagen born mother would burn herself on the stovetop she would exclaim, "Ow! For Søren!" I can only assume it refers to Søren Kierkegaard or some other similarly tortuous and tedious bit of schooling. When I asked her about the etemology I received the usual deer-in-the-headlights look. So, "For Søren!", it is.
