"Merlin’s pants!"
"what in the name of Merlin’s most baggy Y Fronts"
"by Merlin's saggy left..."

Permalink Reply by Molly Malone on April 18, 2012 at 11:35am I am 55 , so kind of OLD.. so, sorry if these sound antiquated, but I usually say "Oh my goodness" and "oh dear" and "good grief". They are really neutral, don't upset anybody, and I suppose they make me sound like Aunt Bea on the Andy Griffith show, but what the heck...:)
Permalink Reply by diggerbanks on April 22, 2012 at 6:35am They are indeed neutral and as such, very worthy. I feel however that they are so close to Oh my God, Dear God, and Good God that they may fall into the calling God by proxy.
