LucyStoner Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 This is what I was taught as a kid -- that 'gosh' was a tamer way of saying "God." And "geez" was a tamer way of saying "Jesus." I was taught this by my mother, who had strict rules about her kids' language but swore like a sailor herself. It was quite a disconnect the first day I heard her drop an f-bomb. Some things you just don't expect a mother to do. ;) Yeah, it comes from saying Gosh darn it instead of G-d d@mn it. Or Oh Gosh instead of Oh G-d.
