Apathy Adventures - OH MY GOSH

Apathy Adventures - OH MY GOSH

why is jesus wearing a cross? if you ask him to pitch in for gas money he will yawn and stretch and very subtly indicate the cross and give you a 'hey, man. i DIED for you'-look.

Did you know that here in Sweden you can compliment someone's cooking by saying that the food is shit-tasty? This is perfectly respectable. If you're at the nobel-prize-reception-dinner and you happen to sit next to Carl XVI Gustaf and he asks you what you think of the meal, you might say that it is "shit-tasty, your majesty" and he will delightedly agree.
I have not made this up.
This is true.

Of course, twenty years ago, the king would have been extremely offended, and my point is that while I used to try to avoid saying things like "oh my god!" (for obvious reasons), I now understand that language evolves, and "oh my god!" has evolved from being outmoded undeserved reverence into a synonym for "oh-my-fucking-fuck-WHAT THE-FUCK-ASS-FUCK!!" which is much more useful.

Also: using "Satan!" as a curse-word is common here in Sweden, but I don't think it's as popular internationally?

We don't really use satan as a curse in the US of A. I usually say "jesus fucking christ!" but I don't think I'm in the majority there.

In America, 'Satan' is sometimes used as a curse word, but not as commonly as 'Jesus Christ' or 'God.'

@Polk: "jesus fucking christ" is good, but it's more for acidly snarling under your breath than for shouting out loud, I think.

@Justin Joo: You gotta love the linguistic development that's made 'God' more offensive than 'Satan'

I think 'Satan.' is more popular in Swedish because of the way we pronounce it. It's much more KHAAAAN than if you pronounce it in English.

When he said "monopolizing" i thought he was going to summon the monopoly man.<br /> Totally missed he said "God"

We use "andskotinn" in Iceland, meaning the devil or satan, a lot. Also "Helvítis" meaning hell :)

Here, in Finland, the equivalent of satan is a very common curse word

That's an interesting fact. Did you know, in Sweden, they used to speak Swedish, however, the language disappeared, about 20 years after the culture.
