Yes; 'Jesus-fucking-christ' is a big one for me, so is 'god dammit'.

I like to expand it out to "Jesus-Titty-Fucking-Christ"

why?

[GraziLovesMary]

I say God fuckin damnit more than anything, but I say those others too. I also tell people that I AM God, and that I bless them in the name of me and my son and my holy spirit... Aaaaa-ME.

Oh and Im also Satan, and I own hell. Its a wonderful piece of real estate! Supply stays the same but the demand keeps on growing!

[BeatlesRGod]

Yes, they're just phrases (I don't say lord btw). Many revolve around religious. My theory is that geez came from Jesus, but people not wanting to say his name in vain perhaps, and that turned into gee (maybe, but who cares?).

usually i say oh my fn god but nothin else but its just a phrase dont mean im tryin to talk to some one whos not ther

[slipknotpsycho]

lol i just remembered, in times of extreme anger AND dismay where i don't really know what to say.. iv'e been known to say things like 'god help me if you don't get the fuck outta here now....'

it's never failed either... hey....

if it ain't broke, don't fix it... gets people outta my face that's what i wanted... why fuck with a working equasion...

cuz aparently alot of people take "i'm going to kill you if you're not outta my face in 3 seconds" to mean "hey sit down in that chair, i like you, ask me 10 times over why"

of course. quite a few of the exclamations we use every day contain religious references. i've also been known to use the term "son of a bitch" when referring to people whose parentage i know nothing about and i sometimes call particularly offensive people assholes even though they only vaguely resemble that particular part of the anatomy. such exclamations are not meant to provide information, but to provide emphasis.

i also eat french fries and i am under no circumstances deluded enough to believe that either the potatoes or the lard they are cooked in have anything to do with france.

same.
