I wasn't allowed to say "Geeze".

Rub a Dub

A kid in my book group would sometimes say 'Jesus Christ' when he was annoyed. I think he got it from his unbelieving dad. Hes mum was deaf in one ear so she never heard him. The man sitting on his other side was old and deaf. And the book study conductor was also partially deaf.
I replaced 'oh buggar' with 'oh my goodness' when i was a dub. My study conductor would say it so I thought it was acceptable. Until one day when I heard her telling someone that it wasn't a very nice thing to say.
