FANTASTIC INTERJECTIONS AND WHERE TO USE THEM

Few days ago I was talking with my friend and somehow we started to recite all the exclamations we remembered. It was fun. Weirdly, my friend stopped after ten or so. I thought it was strange, because our language is filled with interjections and not really knowing how many of them exist out there in the great big white world or not making them up on the fly is downright outrageous. Boo, man! Bad-bad-bad!
So, without further ado and with special dedication to Ms. J. - here's a little list of useful interjections:
What is interjection - according Merriam-Webster dictionary it is "an ejaculatory utterance usually lacking grammatical connection". In other words, something that expresses spontaneous feelings. Sign of life in otherwise confined space of the text.
The greatest thing about interjections is that there are no rules in making interjections. It can be understood by its sheer sound, context makes the rest. It can be anything: the other words, foreign borrowings, some sound imitation or abbreviations. As it is - it is a thing to meditate upon. Thought-provoking concept if like it.
Interjections are the best way to spice up the text. It is probably the best way to make even the lesser text read like a detested delight. Interjections are filled with meanings, they bring playfulness and attitude to your reasoning. They often seem disreputable, like sullen idlers loitering in a public thoroughfare, but they actually do a lot of hard work and are usually persnickety about the tasks to which they are put. They are interjections - one class of them, anyway: those lacking etymological origins but packed with meaning.
