Do you say oh my God or gosh?
April 25, 2012 at 7:42 am
Before I'd say omg
Then as xtian I said oh my gosh
Now I still find my self saying gosh or God intermittently.
Do y'all say it? What are some good replacement phrases?

I usually use "oh gods" or "By Jove"

I say "Hasbünallahuvenimelvekilvenimelmevlavenimelnasır", when my patience is tested.
I say "Allah Allah"...when I'm surprised.
I say "Mazallah" when I don't want something to happen.
I say "Maşallah" when I like something(to protect it from the evil eye).
I say "Ya Allah Bismillah" when starting something, anything.
Well, these are like things engraved in our tongue.

yes 'oh my god' is deeply entrenched within our language unfortunately, I am doing my best to iron it out and tell the kids off for saying it.
I use that and 'Jesus Christ!'
funny how I only use these words as replacements for swearing

I say, "holy fuck," or "Jesus fucking christ."

I say "Oh my god!" and "Jesus Christ" and all that. It doesn't bother me at all, as I don't mean it literally. It's just a colloquialism.

I do say it. But when I feel like changing it up I tend to use, "Oh my Spaghetti Monster" or "Oh my Yahweh".

Oh my god, Jesus fucking christ. It's just a figure of speech.

It really depends on the situation... but, more recently I have been saying "oh my Haruhi!". You will have to have seen The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya to understand.
