- "Gee willikers" is a minced oath for "Jerusalem"?! A small sampling of the more well-known (and sourced) on Minced oath should be sufficient. Delete per nominator. —Wrathchild (talk) 20:22, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- delete - seems unverifiable to me. If anyone is interested, please take a look at minced oath as well, it's a mess and needs sources badly.--Dmz5 04:49, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Apart from anything else, I fail to see how expressions such as "for fuck's sake" are minced oaths (in the sense of being "altered to reduce or remove the disagreeable or objectionable characteristics of the original expression"). I would have thought they were dysphemisms if anything. AdorableRuffian 00:01, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
