d'oh, aargh, grrrrrrr, etc.

I am not going to say anything linguistically interesting about these expressions, except that they are sometimes really needed. I was all day like this. You know the feeling when you have been waiting for so long to get your hands on something and just when you have a glimpse of it and think 'halleloya' it's gone again for no logical reason? The 'something' is the 1-million word corpus (collections of texts in a digital form with its own software to browse/search it) that I will be using for my thesis and the 'no logical reason' is stupid computer technicalities. Of course, after a number of failed attempts and no good answers from people in charge, I had already used up all the interjections expressing being annoyed and pist off in both English and Arabic.
