I try not to use those kinds of swears around Christians. Of course the only Christians I know are my coworkers, and I try not to swear at work anyway. But to me it's similar to saying "cunt" in front of a woman.

Yes I sure would. Although around the office I mostly give praise to Allah, to annoy xians.

What do you say, Godless Dave, when the baseball from little Davy's first home run swing rings your bells at the company picnic?

There has to be some moment.

I don't think the word "cunt" has ever left my lips, as it were, in any conversation I've ever had...seems kind of out dated or something. That's probably one of the few times I've even referenced it to type it out.

Religious epithets, on the other hand, are schpicy.

I've always liked "Jesus tap-dancing Christ!" or "Jesus Christ on crutches!". My personal favorite is "Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket!"

A couple of years ago I had a Christian Cow-orker (good friend of mine) in the car with me. Got behind some old lady that went really slow through a yellow light, making me get stuck at the red light. I yell "Jesus H. Christ on a Cracker!" He says "That's an interesting way to put it..." I'd forgotten he was in the car.

What does the "H" stand for in Jesus H. Christ?

Some possibilities:

1) Harold: "Hark the Harold angels sing..."
2) Howard: "Our father, which art in Heaven, Howard be thy name..."

My old roommate maintained that it was Handjob...but she could provide no biblical reference.

why invoke such names in your swearing?

Ronin · 04-29-2003, 08:14 AM

Because they are senseless reflections of mindlessness, blind agony or hate...that's why they are usually religiously themed.

What about "Bloody hell !" ?

Is it OK to blaspheme against Satan and Hell ?
