RAGE BOOMED

Reader RebeccaH coins an oath:

You know how, when you get startled, or somebody steps on your foot, or you knock your beer over, you yell “Jesus!”? I think from now on, I’m gonna yell “Mohammed!”, or better yet (quicker and more satisfying) “Mo!” Or if I have the time and ire to draw out my frustration, maybe it’ll be “Mohammed H. Rageboomer”. Something like that.

  1. Except my son will think that’s his name.

  2. Rittenhouse, add “dammit” to it, and your son will know it’s the dog’s name instead.

  3. If I’m yelling ‘Mo’ at times of personal crisis or danger, someone’s gonna confuse it with ‘Doh’, and we all know that no good will come of being confused with Homer in lieu of calling a pedo’s name in vain.

  4. Well, Mohammed H. Goatfucker, I never thought of that.

  5. “Allah fuckin’ Mohammed” has a certain robustness to it for those looking for the sort of oath that might precede a glassing, for instance, or for truckies.

  6. Mohmad H. Rageboomer!! Love it.

    As a person who’s usual lingo is nearly always socially unacceptable, I’ve been looking for a replacement for the ol’ GDamnit when in polite company.

    Thanks RebeccaH.

  7. Not a good idea. Before you know it, RebeccaH, you’ll be saying PeeBeeOhAicth, rather than SonOfABitch.

    Rather than the excalamtiuon “F’‘king Jesus” try “F’‘king Mo”, that is better.

  9. Do I have to pay Rebecca a royalty if I use this?  Because I won’t! She’s got enough of my money.

  10. Perfect.  I gotta cultivate this new oath; it’s so much better than “Zeus dammit!!!”

  11. #4 Dave, I think your onto something there. Might have to take this epithet for a road test later today, and guage the reaction.

  13. Now all we need is for some towelhead to read this, get incensed and go and blow up the SMH because he thinks Tim works there.

  14. #9, wronwright, I said I’d keep quiet about that “incident” of yours as long as you paid me.  Now you’re the one letting the cat out of the bag.

  15. I have invested a lot of effort around these parts in a personal campaign to get “Bite My Spitzer” established as the Next Big Epithet.

    But it looks like this Mo thing has me beat.

    add “dammit” to it, and your son will know it’s the dog’s name instead.

    I used to have a dog named Dammit.  A cockapoo.  It was the first thing he ever answered to, so there we went. 

    #4 Hey!  Enough with your speciesism, sirrah! 
    #8 Hey hey!  You too!

    “By the squiggling tentacles of Nyarlathotep ” ... nahhh!

  17. #16, fHF:

    “By the squiggling tentacles of Nyarlathotep “ ... nahhh!


    Dude!?! The Old Ones? They’re so yesterday!

  18. Hey, I like this idea! But it should reflect the formality of an earlier, less crude age, so as not to get the utterer of :“Mohammed!” killed or pasted a good one.

    So, instead of hitting your finger with a hammer and yelling: “Mohammed!” - which could be construed as “Mo’ham, Ed!” - why not yell:“More ham, Edward!”.

    Someone might even feed you…

  19. #8 Wimpy. I like “Mohammed fucking a goat”. You’d cetainly be noticed if you yelled this in the street.

    #16 I don’t think Nyarlathotep has tentacles - it’s “the crawling chaos”.

  20. OK, OK, if you want Lovecraft, you get Lovecraft…

    “Oh, Ithaqua’s icicles!  Who turned down the thermostat?”

    “Oh, screaming Yog-Sothoth!”

    “Oh, Cthulhu’s wings and tentacles, the cat’s done ‘it’ on the bed again!” (One for Andrea)

    “What a Yig!”

    “If you kids don’t turn down that stereo, I’m coming upstairs to go all Azathoth on your ass!”

    And the winner, for its perfect simplicity and wonderful assonance characteristics, is…

    “Oh, Shub-Niggurath!”

  21. I tried out ‘Mohammed H. Tapdancing Pedophile’ last night.

    Got a couple of laughs and a whole load of open mouthed stares. 

    It was well worth it.
