Uff da!
This is an all-purpose exclamation in Norwegian. The older I get and the crazier this world gets, the more useful it becomes. It doesn't have a direct translation in English, but we have a lot of phrases that cover some of it, just not the full scope. These are just a few:
- Good grief!
- Oh my!
- Oh no!
- Bless your heart
- What a mess!
- What a nightmare!
- That's hilarious!
- You've got to be kidding!
- That's so silly!
- Yikes!

I made this graphic a few years ago in commemoration of Syttende mai, or May 17, Norwegian Independence Day. It features part of the Norwegian flag and, well, uff da!
