I'm Feeling Awfully Bad About Myself Right Now :(

Cause I just found out that crikey is an Australian term for Christ and I didn't know that and used to sing along with this song.

(Of course I could be wrong,.. @Josho, you're Australian, do you know anything about this?)

April, you are fond of Self-flagellation. Forgive yourself. Love yourself as God loves you.

I still like the song though and RIP Crocodile Hunter.

Hey April, Ive actually been praying over you and your insecurities for a while since you mentioned them. I will continue to pray for a breakthrough in this area.

I did not know this, I thought it was just an expression of surprise.

Looks like I'm not the only one who thought this then.

Of course we also have another expression "Yikes!"

I personally like the expression "I'm too pooped to poop."

Don't feel too bad about it though, there are some pretty bad Aussie sayings out there actually.....

Sadly our country has a reputation of foul mouths and dirty humour.... A lot a result of a few hundred years of pub talk and drinking culture across this land...

What does crikey mean in australia
Is Crikey offensive?
It came up in conversation that crikey is, historically, only offensive because it was used as a place-holder for the much more offensive interjection Christ (blasphemy being a rich genre of offensive language)
