"Oh my gosh!" <----People who don't say "Oh my God!" annoy me

[MichaelD]

Was walking down the hall and two women were cackling away like hens in a barnyard.

Hen #1 "...and I told her...blah-blah-yak-yakkity-yak"
Hen #2 "Really? OH MY GOSH!!!!!!"

This annoys me. Why, I do not know. I wanted to turn around and say "WELL GODDAMN WOMAN! YOU KNOW YOU WANTED TO SAY OH MY GOD! SO SAY IT! [samkinnison]saaaay it!!!! saaaaaaaaay it! ROOOOOAAAARRR![/samkinnison]

I feel better now, thanks.

Heh heh...

That pretty much goes along for anything. I don't understand it why saying "Crap!" or "buttcrap" is any more acceptable than saying "Bullsh!t". You KNOW what they're trying to say, and what they REALLY mean....why not just say it for gosh's sake?!

 

[trmiv]

Oh my gosh, that annoys you?

 

[MichaelD]

Glad I could help you sort out your issues, FFM.

LMFAO!!

It doesen't really bug me... I, and the people around me, don't really say it though.

Sometimes I'll say, "Christ... " and then go off on somethin.. lol

 

[SpecialEd]

everytime you say it, you break one of the ten commandments.... thats why people say gosh.

<< Oh my gosh, that annoys you? >>




Heheheheheh, I KNEW someone would say it.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Thanks Mike. Work will be a little less stressful today

What's really great is when people don't understand that other people find it offensive to hear the real thing and use words in place of it. People are different than you are: get over it. Don't like it? Tough.

Of course. I was just surprised I was the first one.

by no means am i a biblical scholar, but i don't see how this is using the lord's name in vain?

Well, not to put too fine of a point on it, but:

1. Saying "Goddamn" or "Goddamnit" would be breaking the "thou shalt not take the Lord's name in vain" commandment. Saying "oh my God" does not.

2. The commandments only apply to those who ascribe to that religion.

My goodness, you're not a nice person at all.

i don't even think goddammit is using the lord's name in vain. you're asking (respectfully) god to damn something for you, right?

 

[Freejack2]

I prefer to use the words No sh!t huh?
If someone wants to say oh my gosh, thats their problem.

 

[Jzero]

I don't mind "gosh" but "golly" really p!sses me off. Who are you, Dorothy? Eddie Haskell?

It's not. Most people misconstrue "taking the Lord's name" etc. Let's not get into it; it's QUITE lengthy.

I have a friend that can't say "bulls**t". She actually said "baloney" to me once. I gave her this for Christmas.

 

[GTaudiophile]

Just an FYI: a person (like me) who says "oh my gosh" instead of the other version is most likely a Christian. After all, one of the Ten Commandments states, "You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God" (Exodus 20:7). Why don't you make like a tolerant liberal and respect other people's religion?

 

[gopunk]

heh... well... without getting too far into it

so really what the commandment means is that you can't say stuff that is disrespectful of god, right? like you can't say how much you hate him or stuff like that.

 

[DaiShan]

I beg to differ, using the term oh my god is the pinacle of using the lords name in vain, you are obviously not praying and you are using it as an explative, to many christians, this is unacceptable, so they say oh my gosh, I myself normally say gosh, to me it is worse to use the lord's name in vain than to drop the f bomb (I'm not really religious, but that is my take on it) I get annoyed when people don't say gosh, but then I remember that that is what this country was based on, freedom of religion, then it doesn't bother me as much (I would never prostletize)

 

[crawford]

i hate it when people say gosh too, i thought i was the only one

 

[SpecialEd]

I think it just becomes a habit after while. some people want to aviod breaking the "lord name in vain" commandment completely by just replacing "God" with "Gosh" in every common saying.... then if you do anything enough, it turns into habit. It like saying "shoot" instead of sh!t...
Personally, I do notice when somebody swears like that... but dont' really care.
