    • QVD, yes, that is a good point.  Nowadays, most people are not blaspheming when they casually use Our Lord's name. BUT IM NOT SAYING THIS IS OK OR GOOD.  I’m simply saying it’s “not as bad” as actual blasphemy.  Why is this point so hard to understand?

    Sorry if I was a bit harsh, it seemed to me that you were basically giving it a pass. I like what you said above.

    Is feck a bad word? The meaning is to express annoyance, impatience or surprise. I think we need to ask an Irishman, seeing ’tis an Irish expression used here by an Irishman.

    Feck is used here in Ireland 'to express annoyance, impatience or surprise,' yes. It is used to avoid that other f word with a u that has a direct meaning of the sɛҳuąƖ act. It is not considered a bad word here and will be heard coming even from grandas and grandmas.
