Oh Empress!" or "By the King!" or such. "Jesus Christ" can be substituted by a historical figure in your world, instances "Ghenghis Khan!" or "Teddy Rose!" or such. Now, this depends on your world. If you have a billion humans in one city, "By the Hive!" or if there is a race of sentient trees that guide the humans, "Oh my Grove!"
Nessa is relaxed in most situations, but like Pam wouldn’t tolerate rule breaking. You can guarantee she would have been shouting “Oh Stace, I’m not being funny but pull your mask up over your nose.” The pictures have surfaced on the seafront of Barry Island, the Welsh town where Gwen, Bryn, Nessa, Stacy, Gavin and their offspring all live. Rumours circulated once the pictures emerged that the pictures are from the filming of new episodes of the iconic sitcom. However, naysayers are stating that the filming is actually for an advert for Barrybados – a souvenir shop in Barry Island that sells Gavin & Stacey merchandise. If there’s not a Nessa doll with different iconic outfits, I will riot. Personally. EDIT: Yeah, Smeg is a good example. Watch Red Dwarf to see how such a term becomes ingrained in the audience. There is certainly no need to cut ALL biblical terms/phrases, as most of them are not at all that obviously tied to religion. 'An eye for an eye' as an example, is already a term most people (me included) would not know its origins of. Or the term 'guardian' is also still in use in my setting, as in 'legal guardian', but not as in 'angel guardian'.Bryn’s home gym is strictly off limits to everyone in Barry, and has been since the Covid announcement in March. He’s refusing to let Smithy stay in the house for Christmas, which has been a shambles in itself, and now there’s a crate of green juices going off in the fridge.
Your options are probably limited to making up new words, using substitutions and pretending they don't mean exactly what they do mean or getting a little silly. Actually, there's a fourth alternative that @JLT touched on, which is a total old-school sci-fi trope and still falls into both the substitutions and laughably silly categories in my opinion, which is to make up oaths like "Gragnar's beard!" and "by the rings of Saturn!"
Mick is the voice of reason, as always
We guess we’ll never know how our favourite TV stars reacted to corona, and maybe it’s for the best. All we know is that if the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special had have been this year, then things would have been very different in Barry and Essex. Related articles recommended by this writer:
