I hope nobody gets offended by this, but I am curious to a saying that cringes my ears when I hear it. Where did the saying, Jesus H. Christ ever come from? Does Jesus have a middle name, or a last for that fact. I thought in those times they used to say: Jesus of Nazereth, Paul of Tarsus, etc...

i think it stands for haliburton. I really don't know where or why it comes from. It could possibly be a way for people to say 'jesus christ' in anger or shock without taking the name in vain, since, after all, with the 'H' in there, it is a different name. I dunno. I am curious about it myself.

I thought the 'H' was for 'Holy'

It is derived from when Jesus made enough fish to feed the multitudes. People went around saying, Jesus Halibut Christ. Later the fish was used as an early christian symbol- but fell out of popularity when croissants became the food par excellence during the spread of Islam.
