another word on "donnerwetter" - it would be OK but it just does not sound austrian at all. and it seems to be too weak in my ears. since "himmi..." (mentioned before) is too long for the locals also, it is shortened in most cases to: "sakra". and this is my proposal. btw, this word assumes a catholic background (i think still more than 90% of austrians are catholic).
