popular refrains - What are some old-world alternatives or precursors to 'WTF' (expressions of frustration or surprise)?



Such as 'what on Earth' or 'what in the world', etc. I'm trying to come up with a list of witty alternatives.


Note: I'm not looking for alternatives to the letters W, T, and F. I'm looking for alternative phrases such as the ones I listed above.
