cathgirl Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Is it bad if you say "oh my goSH" or "geez"? Someone told me onetime that you shouldn't say those b/c they symbolize God and Jesus. I was just wondering? If it is wrong, let me know about some other exclamation I can use instead! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FX2 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 if oh my gosh and geeze are bad words, then wouldnt darnit and shoot be bad words too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeTeamFamily Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 ive heard that situation too....and the reason my mom told me not to say those is that although they are not "God" and "Jesus"...they do sound very similar and could therefore be falsley mistaken for you saying them thats my $.02 peace and God bless adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathgirl Posted January 17, 2004 Author Share Posted January 17, 2004 (edited) You both have really good points! I try not to say "oh my gosh" excessively b/c it's annoying, and b/c i have been worried that it wasn't the greatest thing to say. it's so confusing!! :mellow: Edited January 17, 2004 by cathgirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musturde Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I say it's just a replacement of them... so what if it sounds like them, if you have a prob saying it then stress the "sh" in "Gosh" and if you have a prob with "Jeez" then instead just say "Jeaves". :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Adam Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 "Horseshoes" works well so does "Applesauce" and if you get really angry "Blasted" is acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest divahammer Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I found that Jimney Cricket works well as a replacement. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewReformation Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I once knew a preacher who had part time work as a capenter, and everytime he banged his thumb or something like that, he would yell out "Amen!" or "Praise the Lord!" or "Hallalujah!" or something like that.
