Other languages may have better words for talking about snow, or God, or precise moral dilemmas, but the English vocabulary of 'cussing' is untranslatable, if unpoetic. Not for nothing were earlier speakers of the tongue known to the continent as 'Goddams'. Perhaps the word can be transliterated.

I was going to say see what the dolphins can do, but I doubt they will actually see them, or will do so only very, very briefly. Wait till they find out what the dolphins can do.
