    It’s like a universal rule that the size of the exclamation is inversely correlated to the side of the mistake.

    Ex: “Motherfucker!” Would probably follow something like a stubbed toe, or losing a game to a little mistake. Whereas a tiny little “whoops” is probably going to burn down buildings.

    If there isn’t a name for the phenomena, there should be.

        There actually is a ship log where the final message was indeed “Run roh” I’ll see if I can find the sauce

      Can’t confirm, a stubbed toe would be “ouch!” or “shit!” for me.
