I would like to know if there are interjections expressing exasperation, annoyance, anger, frustration without connection to religion. Preferably doesn't originate from it either. No euphemism too. Much appreciated.

*Land sakes and lawks amussy!* (For the Lord's sake! [and] Lord have mercy!). But *Gordon Bennett!* is entirely secular. – FumbleFingers Feb 25 '19 at 14:19

@FumbleFingers, that doesn't seem like a duplicate to me. The 'duplicate' question is looking for a phrase, "For X's sake", where "X's" is a stand-in for the undesirable "heaven's". The word I'm thinking of in answer to this question, 'pshaw', wouldn't work in answer to the other. – JEL Mar 02 '19 at 05:15
