    What do you say to yourself whenever you make an unforced error? My favourites are:

    "Think!"
    "Oh, you woman!"
    "You stupid tart!"
    "Don't do that you idiot!"
    "Get a grip!"
    "What's that?!?"
    "That's atrocious!"

    i usually give myself encouragements when i make an unforced error.

    then, when a repeated mistake occurs, i'd go: "please don't do that again!", "deja vu"

    .. and Very soon:

    "BRAINS! where ARE you??!!"
    "you're EMBARASSINg me!"
    "i'd sure like to give you a Piece of my mind"
    "i'm SO gonna give you a piece of my mind"
    "you're ridiculous"
    "run, idiot, Run"
    "come on, a Snail can do better than that!"
    "good for you!"

    I tend to go more for sarcasm when I make unforced errors:

    "Great shot"
    "What a winner"
    "Brilliant"
    "One more time"
    "There's more where that came from"

    etc etc

    :D

    "Doh!"
    "Stupid shot"

    or if not getting into position
    "Move your feet"
    "Move your feet you fat lazy ba****rd"

    I say "oh s**" in slow motion with a chinese accent so its like:
    "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH s***......"
    I got that off a comedy movie somewhere.....couldn't stop laughing.
    For more serious and often-repeated mistakes, I say the f--- word silently undermy breath.

    I usually just whisper or lip these things:

    "aww crap..."
    "arg...play smarter..."
    "what kind of shot was that?"
    "i suck..."

    or physically I usually just tap my forehand lightly with the strings of my racquet.

    usually the sarcasm route.... makes me feel a little better...

    until things get really really bad, then i usually yell at myself... things said can vary, but usually don't include coarse language....

    but if i have to yell at myself, i'll probably lose the game (or match) so i try to refrain..

    I think best one that got laughs out of the crowds that were watching (I wasn't laughing btw, I was angry haha) was...

    "OH F*** ME" because it was 16-16 and I couldn't kill the bad lob and smashed an inch outside of the singles line.
