Er, I sincerely doubt that's a purely Australian characteristic ... I've been using it for the best part of my life usually as some kind of variant like, "Christ Almighty!", "Jesus H Khrist!" or "Jesus H Khrist on a bike!"
On a number of occasions I've either been asked or posited the question, "What does Jesus Christ mean to me?" My inevitable response is, "Nothing but a convenient swearword!"
Kyu
Yep a convinent swearword!
I personally like "Jesus-Christ-Monkey-Balls", "Jesus-titty-fucking-Christ" and "Holy-Jesus-Jumping-shitballs"/"Holy-Jesus-Jumping-shitballs Christ".
The sound of those obscenities just seem to have quite a bite to it.
First two I heard from South Park and the last one I kind of picked up from George Carlin although I don't think it's entirely verbatim I may have paraphrased it/changed it a bit but you get the general (obsence) idea.
