I did Google it. Read about it. Asked the question because I've never heard it used.

Don't respond like a dick. :colbert:

I went down the rabbit hole and read about minced oaths. I also read something that challenged the accepted idea of where "ye gods" comes from - something about the Elizabeth era only considering references to "the one true God" as swearing and "ye gods" as plural would have been incorrect for the era it is said to have come from. If "ye gods" references pagan gods, it would not have been considered "blasphemous" and there would have been no need to develop a minced oath alternative to the swear word. But whatever. So sorry for being curious :rolleyes:

[edit]
Oh I get it. You thought I was being serious in that other thread where I was having some fun with the differences between British English and U.S. English (boot/trunk, pavement/ground, car park/parking lot).

If the bacteria in your mouth have evolved to reach the level of Roman civilization, you should probably brush your teeth.

Sorry to upset you but no I didn't realise you were the same person from the coffee thread. Just pointing out that if you google the phrase it is pretty obvious what is meant.

Although I am starting to see a patern now. You have trouble understanding really really obvious stuff don't you. Were you in a special class at scchool?
