What famous religious figure has the initials J.C.? Jiminy Cricket is a halfhearted attempt at a blasphemous oath, sharing the initials of Christ, but it skirts around actually "using Christ's name in vain".
This thinly veiled blasphemy is nothing new. In Shakespearean times, "zounds" was used to imply a shortened form of the oath "God's wounds!"
Some people just can not resist responding...
