Saperlipoppette!

Saperlipoppette! My new favorite word in the French language. A fabulous word! Yell it out! YELL it! It gives off every sentiment you could imagine, depending on your tone. Versatile, fun to say, best. word. ever. Never mind that it was popular during the days of Beauty and Beast, during the 17th and 18th centuries - its old news I don't belong in the 2000s! I use it all the time. I usually yell it if I stub my toe because in my mind, it gives off that exact sentiment. I use it in moments of extreme frustration. I use it in place of moments that require my infamous wompwomp.
Never mind that I get laughed on all the time on metros for using it - it helps make friends? Never mind my French friends think its hilarious. Never mind the literal translation...

saperlipopette: french interjection; goodness me!, fiddlesticks!, woopsy-daisy
Pronounced: Sah-pear-lee-po-pette! And if you're really passionate, add an euh to the end. 
Sa-per-li-po-pettt-euh!!!!! Never mind the literal translation. Its still my favorite word. And Paris get ready...its making a come-back!
