What expressions can I say when I do something wrong or bad by mistake? I mean there are some words I learned from movies like
When I drop something, then I say " f**k or s**t "

Answer

If it's a situation like if you've dropped something, I would say "shoot!" or "darn (it)!"

Or maybe even "Oh no!"

Answer

Darn is a sanitised version of  Damn.  It is short for  God Damn it! If you don't want to offend,  you can say 'gosh darn it. USA only really.

Again in usa: sonofabitch!

In Australia,  you might hear : bugger! ; bloody hell!

Oh crap (less offensive than shit,  same meaning).  Some might say: poop! It has the same meaning also,  even less offensive.

Get creative.  If you are comfortable with the people you are around,  you will probably entertain then in this moment! ' you f***ing thing!'

Answer

Far out!  Geez!  Gosh!  Good grief!  Oh my goodness!  Oh dear!  Heaven's above! These are some common expressions that aren't rude.
