It’s like a universal rule that the size of the exclamation is inversely correlated to the side of the mistake.
Ex: “Motherfucker!” Would probably follow something like a stubbed toe, or losing a game to a little mistake. Whereas a tiny little “whoops” is probably going to burn down buildings.
If there isn’t a name for the phenomena, there should be.
