I would not bet the farms on this one Roz, but in these parts ..."Well dang" might be the equivalent of the Aussie terms: "cor strewth", "bugger me dead" or maybe even "strewth".
Mind you, that is assuming that I still remember the "strine" I did learn whilst visiting you fine folks.

Yep. I use it. Along with 'daggummit'. In place of swearing (around other peoples kids) I say 'rumplestilskin'. :-) |
Rumplestiltskin was the magic word that my primary-school teacher sister-in-law used to bring her glass to a sudden stop, cease whatever they were doing and pay full attention to her. |
I seem to remember hearing about a teacher who would shout over a noisy class "I demand pandemonium RIGHT NOW!" to get them to shut up -- I suppose, like puppies, it's more the tone of voice than the meaning of the words ... |

In the end, none of this conversation matters.

But bad is a bad word.
25 Synonyms for Bad – Words List. appalling, astounding, atrocious, awful, dire, disgusting, dreadful, frightful, gross, harmful, hideous, horrendous, horrid, inadequate, inferior, lousy, mean, nasty, offensive, severe, shameful, shocking, terrible, unacceptable, unpleasant.
I think of Dang as well..... Dang! Something you didn't expect.
Am I missing something? |

I know. I was saying "OH sh*t" = bad; "WELL sh*t" = good (but of course "Well sheee**t" is definitely bad . . . I think??)
And apparently both "Oh dang" and "Well dang" = bad. But "Whoa, dang" = good . . . and so, at least sometimes, is just plain "Dang!"
Personally, I say, "Piffle" for bad and "Well, would ya look at that??!!" for good, neither of which are EVER to be taken as challenge topic suggestions, Bear_Music

agreed. |
But "Well, SH*T!!" means "Wow, that's COOL!!" - right? |
Absolutely!! If it was something bad, I'd skip the "well"! |

I mended it. Used Expert editing rules ... a bit sloppy, but semi-functional. LOL |
Maybe you need to call in  Gyaban for a consult before it's too late? Or is it already?
