I've made efforts to move to differing exclamations. I've not used the God
reference in a while now. Where I do invoke the name of JHC, it's usually
in the form of "Christ on a stick!(or bike)"
As for this kid, I'd figure he's got a high intellect all his own and the
same lizard brain the rest of us got. Nothing unusal for someone like him
to be invoking the biglad upstairs.
Oh course, being here in the auld sold, we have the perrenial favourite for
when it all goes pear-shaped;
"Ah, Bollocks!"
It's late. Now fuck off to bed, the lot of ye.
