Ben X Posted November 25, 2014 Also, how did you miss "Criminey It's CHRISTMAS!"? Finally got round to checking this, and they're both euphemisms for Christ, apparently, but I think "crikey" sounds better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben X Posted November 25, 2014 I especially like learning secret blasphemies so when fuddy-duddies complain about my bad language I can switch to secret swearing instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted November 25, 2014 The first thought I had was that I know a couple of people who get very worked up about blasphemies, and those two words just skyrocketed in usefulness to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Merus Posted November 26, 2014 Given Steve Irwin's propensity for using 'crikey', and the many, many opportunities he had for God to punish him for blasphemy, I guess that counts as proof that God doesn't care. Or at least doesn't care about Australians. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
