What the heck
How in the hell do you say "how in the hell" in Spanish, or "where in the hell", or "who in the hell"...well, you get my drift. Creo que he escuchado algo como "¿cómo diablos..." pero no estoy seguro.

Gracias a todos

This is a pretty touchy subject for the forums, as some phrases could be seen as curse words or insults (according to me at least). You could say:

"Qué diablos?" "Qué demonios?" "Qué rayos?" Among many others that could be interpretted as a word worse than "hell," if you know what I mean

Estoy de acuerdo, ¿Qué diablos?, ¿Qué rayos? and I think this one means the same thing but it may be really bad in some areas.....
