Whatever....Jesus Christ Spark. Day in and day out. You are on my back. Get the saddle off. I'm about ready to leave this site for good. I'm sick of your constant bitching. Don't you have anything better to do for crimony sakes? Maybe another shuffleboard tourney. I quit.....
Old school slang....Since Spark was around during the 17th century, I figured he'd understand the terminology.
Definition....It's a mild exclamation or cry of astonishment, now very old-fashioned. It's much weaker in force than when it was first used, back in the seventeenth century. The usual explanation is that it is a form of 'Christ', much like another somewhat dated mild expletive, 'crikey', which came along later; but it's just possible that it's a variant form of 'crime'. It might be related in some way to 'Jiminy' (as in 'Jiminy Cricket'), which appeared at about the same time. This was possibly a modified form of 'Gemini', but was equally likely to be based on the Latin 'Jesu domine'.
