You want something like:

ErrorDocument * "Something went wrong - but I can't be bothered telling
you what"

AFAIK, this can't be done. You have to provide an error-code.

Perhaps you should take this as a hint: error-codes are meant to inform
and assist web-users. If you give a global "Something went wrong" you
are doing neither of these things for your users. Either leave them with
the default apache messages or go with the angels and make a pleasant,
helpful page for each error (you only really need to do about 2 or 3 -
401, 403 and 404, the rest are very rare).
