Shnikeys 

Popularized by Chris Farley in the movie Tommy Boy, shnikeys is a euphamistic way to say shit. Although it is usually prefaced by the word "holy" it can also be used in other contexts. Sincere use of the word is considered hilarious.

Chris Farley claimed that his father used to use the word in his household because he never wanted to swear in front of his kids.
"Holy shnikeys! I've got ten burritos to make, and I'm running out of tortillas!"

"I didn't know that stacked shnikeys that high!"
