[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about when Catholics do it? Is it ok then?

No.  I mean there’s a general cultural rule that it’s more ok to say something offensive about your own background than about someone else’s, but there are better ways to behave period.[/quote]

Do you think people who say it are trying to “say something” about religion?

I think people’s modes of speech reflect their principles and priorities generally speaking, yes.  I mean I know it’s a verbal tick which is why I let it slide as long as it’s not something people do all the time.  Nobody is perfect including especially me.  But I would say the people who do it more are, on average, more likely to be contemptuous of people of faith than people who do it less.  I would expect the principles that cause the person to justify the behavior to themselves would show up in other ways.  But we are talking generalities here.[/quote]

So are people who say “oh sh*t” saying something about bowel movements?
