You might enjoy the expression, "Stercus fit," for "[common word for excrement] happens." (fit = it happens) This amuses me, because of the expression (in US, anyway), "a [common word for excrement] fit," to describe someone who's pitching a remarkable tantrum.
UPDATE: Somehow I forgot to add the detail (funny to me, at least) that one can also say "[common word for excrement] happens," which looks like a literal translation of stercus fit.
