A Small Reminder of My German Days
My German has deteriorated quite a bit since I left Germany many years ago. It’s inevitable, I suppose—regular communication with foreigners, especially Germans, is extremely rare in my daily life.
Still, there is one German word that comes out of my mouth completely naturally, depending on the situation: “Scheisse!”
In English, it’s basically “shit,” a small curse you mutter when something goes wrong. When I forget something or drop something, the word slips out automatically. And strangely enough, I’m confident that I still use it perfectly in the right context—at least in German circumstances.

Indeed. I used to study German hard, but my German proficiency has eroded. Still, as you point out, some words are "sticky."

Wow, amazing English! That seems pretty perfect to me. That is very funny that you still use that German word even now in your daily life haha. Is there no word in Japanese that roughly translates to the same thing that you could use instead? Or do you just prefer to use the German word because it's more fun?

If I had to pick a Japanese equivalent for “Scheiße”, maybe it would be 「畜生」, though it sounds harsher than the German word.
In Japanese situations, I usually just do a 舌打ち or a tiny tongue click. For me, “Scheiße” plays the same role—it just slips out naturally when something goes wrong.
