Dear teachers:
I watch the film �Gran Torino �, and would like to know why Walt said
�Jesus, all Fridays� and �Jesus, Joseph, Maria� when he felt awful ?
Is it general to say that when people feel bad to something?
How come they don�t use �God!�?
Thanks a lot!

Best wishes,
Augua Very Happy

They are blasphemies that are, nowadays, treated as mild expletives.
