Sacrebleu: An old French profanity meant as a cry of surprise or anger. It originated from the swear words “sacré bleu,” a Marian oath, referring to the color (i.e., “sacred blue”) associated with Mary, mother of Jesus.

Thanks for the background Rick. I had heard it used in the context you explained, so I was pretty sure it worked here.

I appreciate the response.
