Forgot some of those and some I hadn't heard.

I was going to say on your post 'Crime In Italy or 'Itly' for some.

It's actually a word: Crimanently/Crimemently...Sometimes 'Criminy' is taken as 'crimeinitly'. My elder gGrandparents, aunts/uncles etc as well as Grandparents would talk about hearing someone say that and couldn't understand how that happened! They thought it was intentional and a racial attack or slur. lol!

Anyway..

My brother must have heard it as crime in italy, going by his pronunciation.
"Crimently: Probably formed by infixation of nonsense syllables into criminy."
Just remembered how my dad and others used to say a peck of tomatos.
Every once in awhile somebody would mention they were moving. My dad would say, You know what they say. Three moves are equal to a burn-out(house fire).
