Huh...

I use Jeebus in terms of a warning. "Doing X activity makes the Baby Jeebus cry" etc...

That was the original useage (found, I believe in a 1642 text on Diocesan Convention regulations). It has since come to be acceptable as a mild curse, such as "Jeebus, that chicken pot pie is hot!"

Is it possible for Jesus to bake a chicken pot pie so hot that even He couldn't eat it?

Yes, but not so hot that Chuck Norris couldn't.

I can see you need some coaching here. Often jeezum is used in low-adrenaline situations:

Opening bills that were a bit higher than you expected

Commenting on poor weather

When you lift something heavy

etc

Nah, all those would result in at least the s-word, if not a f-bomb in our house... :eek:
