Frogsnoggit

Frogsnoggit - interj. Used to express anger, irritation, contempt, disappointment, or utter hilarity. Syn. Snot.

Etymology: A combination of frog (a noun meaning any of numerous tailless, aquatic, semiaquatic, or terrestrial amphibians of the order Anura and especially of the family Ranidae, characteristically having a smooth moist skin, webbed feet, and long hind legs adapted for leaping) and snog (a verb meaning to interact passionately with another being).

Actual origins are murky but can best be described as follows:
A young American lady once confused the idiomatic exclamations "dog-gone-it" and "dag-nab-it"; resulting in the creation of the term "dog-nog-it". Sir rLog, having been one of the few to actually hear this verbal oddity uttered, conveyed this contrivance along by way of noting his distaste for any term referring to dog nog. Some time later, in a fit of late night giddiness in Australia, a man who has come to be known as the jFrog first coined the term "frogsnoggit".
