[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 136871, member: 3626"] There are a couple of theories surrounding Jesus H. Christ. One (and the one I think makes the most sense) is that Southerners frequently would say "Jesus Holy Christ." Northerners heard it, shortened it and it picked up from there. Another theory is scientific. Since Jesus was born of an immaculate conception, he's missing half of his genes and is, therefore, "haploid." Third theory is that "IHS" was the ancient Greek abbreviation for Jesus. "Iesous" (the "e" looking like an H) was the Greek spelling. The Romans converted it to Jhesus. So, take your pick. I'm sure you could probably find a few more reasons but these are the ones I've heard over the years. Being the product of good Southerners, I'll stick with Jesus Holy Christ. [/QUOTE]
