oh fudge

Mild dismay cry

Oh fudge is a mild exclamation of frustration or disappointment, a deliberate substitute for "oh fuck" that avoids the vulgarity: Oh fudge, I left my wallet at home.

The euphemism sounds wholesome and slightly old-fashioned, often used around children or in situations where stronger language would be inappropriate.
