Well, Don't Get Your Goddamn Panties In A Twist

[dmallind]

4. Nah - godly curses are part of the standard lexicon

Along with other godly phrases even 'stealth' ones such as "goodbye".

I am not the kind of affected atheist who can abjure decades of immersion in English vernacular and say "Syncretic hero-savior myth on a crutch!" when I skin my knuckles or "Oh for the love of the amalgam of Canaanite and Edomite henotheisms!" when Romney says another damn stupid thing on TV.

I don't worry that I'm not a sailor when I say someone is three sheets to the wind; that I'm not a weaver when I say a movie is run of the mill; that I'm not a jeweler when I say another is of the first water. Why then should I worry that I'm not a believer when I say yet another was godawful?
