¡Jolín!

My coworker, Isis, often says "¡Jolines!" when she´s stressed out, or when she´s "had it up to here" with work, as she says.

But I asked her how to spell it so I could look it up. And on my favorite online Spanish dictionary site, spanishdict.com, they translated it as the following:

Obviously, there are some things you just can´t translate because they sound ridiculous.
