Some of you may, or may not know about words that came from Christian words. Though it may not be evil to say some of them, (I'm not sure about this previous statement) somebody said to avoid even the appearence of Evil.

Example:
Geez/Jeez: This came from Jesus, and basically you're saying God's name in vain. I think Sheesh also came from this.

hmm... Basically what this is about is avoiding even the appearence of evil.
