“son of a bitch”
One of the oldest compound insults in English, dating back to at least the 14th century. It can express genuine fury at a person or serve as an exclamation of surprise — 'son of a bitch, it actually worked!' The target doesn't have to be male; it's applied to situations, objects, and bad luck just as often as people.
dick
“dick / jerk / prick”
An insult for someone acting foolishly, meanly, or inconsiderately. Also a vulgar term for the penis.
holy shit
“holy shit”
An exclamation of extreme surprise, shock, or awe. The combination of sacred and profane is what gives it punch — you're so shocked that you've combined a religious invocation with a scatological noun. It can express positive surprise ('holy shit, you got the job!') just as easily as negative ('holy shit, the car is on fire').
