Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

What is anglocentric about pointing it out that other languages might not have any great Christianity-derived expletives? I'm German, and the German language doesn't have any great Christianity-derived expletives that I'm aware of; we DO have secular expletives that are satisfying to say.
Ah, I interpreted your comment as addressing the pronunciation of "Jesus Christ", not the prevalence of Christianity-derived expletives.
Although to be fair, "mein Gott" is still a top contender and I've heard most of my German friends use it, even the staunchly anti-religious ones (which is, well, most of them, given I am too quite anti-religious in general and tend to surround myself with similar people).
