I use all the swear words and have been said to "swear like a sailor." What does that mean? How would you swear using non-religious words? I have discovered that if you swear around believers they have a tear in their eyes and ask you to stop as if you are hurting their deity.
oh yeah, I try to hit all the religions with my swearing....but normally, it's good old fashion jesus fucking christ on a pogo stick....holy cows on crosses if I am vexed but amused....I had a friend who used to say 'nun tits!' when he was mad....always killed me...
I have a friend who always says "nun tits" after he sneezes! I love it!
“Nun tits” hahaha!!
@MyLiege when I sneeze I say the words "god damn it" no one knows what to do
There's nothing off limits if you're cursing. Unless someone complains, it is all fair game, all the time. Express yourself, and talk to HR later.
"Jesus Fucking Christ" for really stupid shit, "Oh Jesus" for medium stupid shit.
Sometimes if I'm exacerbated I'll shriek "Jesus Fucking Christ" and I was never a Christian.
Jesus Christ on a bicycle! Jumpin Jesus on a pogo stick! Jesus, joseph, and, Mary! These are the exclamations I grew up with.
Sounds like Frankie on the Netflix show Grace and Frankie.
Foul language is kind of cheap. One of the tenets prevalent here in the rural south that I have grown to agree with is it's better not to cuss at all. You never know who you might offend, and there s always a better way to express oneself.
But under my breath at work, when a drill bit breaks, or some other tradesman's shortcuts make my life harder, I say the most offensive things. I need to quit that too, because you never know when someone will walk up behind you. I substitute with Fark and Shiite.
I say it a lot. Only in an expletive form. I'll add "jesus F-ing christ" or "jesus godd*** christ!." Or "OMFG!"
Me too! Lol
I was quite potty mouthed when I was younger and in the Army. I cleaned up after the kids started coming. Kids grown up, post divorce I only swear in traffic, usually. I also have a job with a big customer service component, I have to be really careful not to swear on the phone. And now there is a grandchild and I really don't want her first word to be F**k. I come up with other expressions that on the surface sound OK, Jeebus gets used frequently, and Jeebus Christopher. Stronger stuff usually stays in my head, but I am sure I am not far from the day when that little censor is going to be sleeping on the job, and jeebus christopher there will be hell to pay then.
I say Jesus H Christ, but I don't know what the H stands for.
Holy? Hell? Lol. I don’t know either.
Ever heard this one?
Damn your son all to hell.
This one came from one of my finish carpenters when something just wouldn't fit.
Sonofanailhimtothecrossandletimrot.
Early morning rush in the subway.
Fuck god and his son too.
As for me, I rarely use Jesus Christ. It's so much easier and much quicker to just say, "Shit!" It also appears to be the favorite last words on black boxes.
Sometimes, but I'm more of an f-bomb person. As a side note though, my oldest daughter is atheist as well and when she was in 6th grade she developed a habit of saying "Jesus Christ!" Apparently, one of her teachers took offense to that (public school) and gave her a mini-lecture on it. We told her that while she can't really enforce that you do not say it, if she finds it offensive then at least try to avoid saying it in front of her out of respect. But, if she gets really snotty about it, let us know because we will have a talk with her. I suggested she consider saying "Judas Priest" because I suspected that her teacher may somehow be bothered by that as well but that it was in no way breaking any of her Christian rules. Just to thumb her nose in her face, so to speak.
Love it!
I use Jesus Fucking Christ way too often, lol. Jesus, Jesus Christ...I try not to use JFC too much in front of my Christian co-workers, but sometimes I do it on purpose because some people deserve to be offended, lol
And, to all of you that say “Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick,” I love you!!!!
Of course! Jesus H. Christ, Jesus f--ing Christ, or sometimes I'll just say cheese and rice.
My exceptions to true profanity are Schmeg, Smurf, and Jesus Fuck!
