About this deal

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!" So your dilemma feels very ironic to me... Anyway, it can certainly be done, since I'm a real life example. I just use "for goodness' sake" and "how on earth" and "Gosh" instead. I'm aware "Gosh" is a tad controversial lol. You could just stop short at "Oh my..." Somehow I take OMG and WTF differently though - I don't seem to see them as words.

And yeah I'm a Christian, so yes I've literally avoided those phrases all my life. None of my friends at church use it either - both in the UK and in my current international church in the Czech Republic, which boasts probably a good 40 different nations in our congregation. None of us use it. So it's not a cultural thing in the national sense. It's part of Christian culture. It's a religious thing.

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'. EDIT: Yeah, Smeg is a good example. Watch Red Dwarf to see how such a term becomes ingrained in the audience. Ness has told the whole family they won’t even be getting a Celebration chocolate this year because let’s be honest Stace, this year’s been hard enough alri. If you do need a concept though, an 'Oh ---!' something or a 'By ----!" something, that depends on worldbuilding. 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.”

We have a phrase that literally means "There's surely been a mistake!?" (it's 4 words, all monosyllabic, so it rolls off the tongue, unlike in English). This one's the most common, esp for cries of outrage. Let's say if you're walking past and someone drops rubbish from the flat above and almost hits you. You might look up and say "There's surely been a mistake!?" (it makes more sense in Cantonese - no one takes the literal meaning of the words) Gav is one of the more chilled out members of the cast. He would have been trying to keep Stacey and the kids calm whilst simultaneously trying to work from a tiny home office with endless distractions from his family. He’s at the end of his tether with this home teaching malarkey, and can be seen having a stress fag in the garden on the hour every hour. Coronavirus has affected us all in ways we never could have imagined over the last year. With it nearly being a year since the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special, we cant help but think what it would have been like if it had taken place in the current climate. Here’s how we think the characters of our favourite comedy would have reacted to corona at Christmas: Pam’s abso gutted she can’t go to ju jitsu with fat-no-more Pat

Smithy’s gutted he can’t get down The Dolphin with Gav

Other phrases might be "How can this be?" Really, majority of the time we just say "Aiya" - a catch-all that means anything you want depending on the context and tone with which you say it. It could mean "Ouch", "oh no", "Shit", "oh dear" etc. Smithy is relaxed and calm as usual, his main problem with coronavirus is that he can no longer go down The Dophin with Gav for a catch up and a pint. As he’s on furlough he’s moved in with Nessa so he can be with Neil the Baby – or so he says…
