Cripes, can I see into the future or what? Now what is this 'Cripes' word I find myself using in an unthinking manner. I meant to express surprise, excitement tinged with joy and a smidgen of pride: perhaps that's what "Cripes" means: or does it?
Ex Webster:
Main Entry: cripes
Pronunciation: 'krIps
Function: interjection
Etymology: euphemism for Christ
Date: 1910
-- used as a mild oath
