Proper noun
Noun
(plural Jesus Christs)
Interjection
- An expletive or oath, whose use is considered blasphemous by most Christians. Usually an expression of surprise, shock, etc.
Usage notes
- Some variations of this usage include Jiminy Cricket, jeepers creepers or other variations that begin with the letters J C.

Clemens (Mark Twain), for more examples.
