Interjection

Jesus Christ

1. An expletive or oath, whose use is considered blasphemous by most Christians. Usually an expression of surprise, shock, etc.

Usage notes

• Some variations of this usage include Jiminy Cricket, jeepers creepers or other variations that begin with the letters J C. These are often considered acceptable substitutions for people who are trying not to swear, but have already started the first consonant sound. See Tom Sawyer, by Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain), for more examples.
