Jesus Fucking Christ

I say that a lot. It’s probably my favorite swear word. Right behind it comes god fucking dammit, and then goddamn motherfucker. But jesus fucking christ is definitely number one. I was talking religion recently with my sibs and I said, “‘Well, I don’t believe in god but I do say ‘jesus fucking christ’ a lot.” They both totally cracked up.

Just say it: jesus fucking christ, jesus fucking christ. It’s so melodious. It rolls off the tongue. It’s got good iambic pentameter:

JE-sus-FUCK-ING-CHRIST (rest) JE-sus-FUCK-ING-CHRIST (rest)

I find I use it mostly when I am annoyed or impatient at something not going right; whereas I say god fucking dammit mostly in traffic when trying to deal with insane drivers. (I myself drive perfectly, of course.) Goddamn motherfucker is generally reserved for people, obviously, often when watching political commentary on TV, such as looking at Shrub and saying, “What a fucking goddamn motherfucker.”
