joder
damn, bloody hell, fuck (versatile expletive)expressionvulgarExtremely common in casual speech. Tone varies enormously with intonation: can express surprise, frustration, admiration, or simple emphasis. Between friends, the edge softens considerably and it often reads as 'wow' or 'blimey' rather than a harsh expletive.

what the hell, what on earthexpressionvulgarUsed to express irritation, bewilderment, or defiant emphasis. Can open a question or stand alone. The underlying noun is anatomical but completely bleached in this fixed expression.
