What does zounds mean from shakespeare?

The origin is "By God's wounds" meaning Christ's stigmata (wounds from being crucified), shortened to "His wounds" and shortened still to 's wounds, shortened again to zounds. It's an exclamation; today you might say "Gadzooks" or "Jesus Christ!" or "Holy smokes." Or if you were saying it more straightforwardly, it might mean also "I swear" as in "believe me" as in "I swear on this bible" or "I swear on my mothers grave" or "I swear on God's wounds" or something similarly sacred. Now don't ask me where "Gadzooks" comes from. (Actually, it's from "God's hooks", the nails which fastened Jesus to the cross)


What is a casual or inappropriate use of God's name?

Known as 'blasphemy' this 'taking of the Lord's Name in vain' is against the 10 commandments, and against the teaching of Jesus Christ. Examples of it would include exclamations of 'Oh God!' or 'Oh my God!' or 'For Christ's sake stop it!' or simply 'Jesus Christ!' when all of these are used as 'swear' words or to replace swear words. Of course, the use of these words in their right setting (such as 'Oh God, help me...' if said in a desperate prayer) is perfectly acceptable and right, but the 'casual or inappropriate use' of God's name refers solely to the expletive use as a swear word or exclamation without no real reference to God himself.

Just say "you're crazy, man!" instead.
