Ye gawds is old-timer slang for "Oh, my gosh!" and "Give me a break!" — all packed into one nifty punch. It conveys a cranky annoyance more than a "Holy Toledo!" excitement and is a good option when you're really wanting to say something more profane but need to mind your manners.
It's more hick than urban and works well for folks with a penchant for mid-century modern, sweater sets and small town gossip. Dang and geesh are tolerable alternatives, but if you're into Mayberry or maybe even Mad Men and want to impress your friends, go with "Ye gawds" and you'll knock their knickers off.

"Did you hear what Martha's daughter did the other day? She snuck out of the house in the middle of the night, dumped a gallon of hairspray into the truck's gas tank, and drove into town to see her boyfriend."
"Ye gawds, Sally. Kids these days, you know?"

Get the yes mothermug. A person who is expected to completely agree with those around them, however this is against their will. They are usually a person who tries to avoid conflict and to get away from the situation agrees so that they can leave. They are made to be a "Yes Monkey" be it for a group project, an organization, or by being out numbered.
They are an individual, but at the time might feel that its better to chose a different battle and move on.
Similar to a Yes Man.

Get the ye servermug. The summer decided on by a group of friends in which yes is said to every opportunity whether it be horrible and dangerous or simple. A summer to experiment and ultimately potential ruin your life at least for the time being.
