Hi, pal. The first line of the answer above doesn't seem to be completely correct. For instance, normally, " what the heck! " means:

به جهنم! ، به درک اسفل‌السافلین! - چه غلطی داری می‌کنی؟ - این دیگه چه کوفتیه! - فرقی نداره! ، چرا که نه! - ...

I didn't persuade that it is able to be an accurate equivalent for the respective Persian sentence above. But I think " Ah, heck " is not bad if we turn a blind eye. " Oh, what the hell " has a different concept.

I didn't find " take a leap in the dark " in credible references, as The Free Dictionary. Please send me a link from a reliable source.

 

Thank you again.
