Bookmark or Share- Did people really used to say words like “Egad” and “Jeez” out loud?Welcome to the 2HA subreddit, a place for fans of the Chinese danmei novel The Husky And His White Cat Shizun (二哈和他的白猫师尊, erha he ta de bai mao shizun) and its adaptations, to share thoughts, fan-art, memes and news.
- Is it a sin to say "Jeez" : r/Catholicism - RedditOften people change the divine names as to avoid taking them in way: oh my gosh, oh gosh, jeesh, jeez. I wouldn't get to hung up on it. If you called you friend Pete, "yeet" or you called your friend Sam "sash", I don't think they would perceive it as you calling their name specifically. Sometimes profanities slip up without thinking.
- Geez Louise! : r/etymology - RedditVery unlikely. The phrase was popular for entire generations before the movie. I suspect the "jeez" arose as a minced oath for Jesus' name (similarly to gosh), and the Louise then was added to rhyme, still decades before the movie. I'd be very surprised if the use of the phrase was substantially higher in the 1990s than in, say, the 1950s.
- Is it jeez or geez? : r/NoStupidQuestions - RedditI always thought jeez was a contraction for "Jesus" (as a blasphemous expletive) and geez was a contraction for "gee whiz" (as a milder expletive). The only way to tell them apart when spoken is the emphasis and jeez is sometimes a little more drawn out.
- Help decide who wins an argument: is it spelled “geeze” or “jeez”?both, but geeze is more correct because we are tying to pretend that we aren't taking the Lord's name in vain by saying it.
