chalice

French Canadian curse word, roughly equivalent to 'dammit!' or 'shit!'

Pronunciation: ka'-lehce

Follows tabernac. French Canadian swear words are modeled after the Roman Catholic Church, as opposed to other curse words that are modeled after sexual acts or bodily functions/parts.

Don't say this around a French Canadian priest or an older person.

"ce n'est pas assez? chalice!!!"
(it's not enough? SHIT!)

Ree

when this syllable is repeated, it resembles the music from the classic movie 'Psycho' when the killer stabs the woman repeatedly while she's in the shower.

Garth from Wayne's World does a perfect example of how this syllable is used comically.

Joe: So did you dump Sally yet?
Jeff: No, why should I?
Joe: *takes knife, stabs sandwich repeatedly* REE! REE! REE!
Jeff: Dude, she's not trying to kill me.
