Jebus
 

Where did this word come from? I've seen it all over the TFP, but I have no idea why it's so popular. Can someone fill me in?

oh gawd. fooking aye. shite. biotch. mutha ficker. etc.

jebus, i believe falls directly in line with the above <i>almost</i> cuss words. well, pretty much they're the same w/o the correct spelling, sometimes used to throw off filtering of such language.

and perhaps some one could explain "ASTA!" also

K-wise *has* explained ASTA!

hasta la vista!

God I wish I could remember I know it came out of a movie or cartoon. I would like to say it was Aqua Teen Hunger force but I don't think that was it. For some reason I can just see Meatwad saying sweet jebus.

Hail Bernadette!

Can you explain why Ashton posts in red text?
You have all the answers!

Hail GH! sorry, i'm not sure about that one.

perhaps he just likes red text? or maybe it is a means to make it easier to find his own posts? if he has mentioned his reasoning previously, i have missed it.

and... i apologize if i am coming off as a big fat know-it-all today. clearly & most certainly, i do <b>not</b> have all the answers. in fact, i have very few answers in reality.

ITs the big eye..... I can feel it watching me *cowers in the corner*

It is his signature, I guess. Mine is :thumbsup: at the end of every post. Yours is to hail to the memerb(s) you are replying to. Ashton's is to post in all red text. K-wise's is "Asta!!" as we all know. I suppose it is somewhat of a TFP fashion thing. We cannot wear clothes in TFP (we are all naked), but we can dress up our posts!

Oh, and it's Jeebus, not "Jebus". It came from that Simpsons' episode that everyone but me has seen, where Homer Simpson proclaims aloud "I don't even believe in Jeebus... save me Jeebus!"

:thumbsup:

cork sucking ,farging iceholes........

It is from a Simpsons episode, as far as I knows it!

Stiltzkin is right on both parts. The word "Jeebus" comes from a Simpsons episode, and Ashton's been using red text since before I was a member here. I can't ever remember seeing a post of his that didn't have red text.

Jeebus.......... this word cracks me up!!!!!!!

I too have managed to miss the Simpson episode, I thought it was from the Family Guy episode "Holy crap".

"heh, you ever noticed this? on page 375 it says Jebus" "Supposed to be Jesus, right?"

The origin of the "jeebus" portion of my moniker predates the Simpsons episode in 2000 that made it famous.

I've been using it as a BBS handle since 1995 or so, and it's not like I invented it -- I heard it in use prior to that.

praise thee lordjeebus ;)

its the Simpsons episode where homer goes to the island to be a missionary.. episode number 243/// crawling back into my hole

I hate to admit this, but I came out with the word Jeebus back in 1985.

Episode Information for Missionary: Impossible

Episode Number 241
First Aired February 20, 2000

Synopsis

Homer tries to anonymously pledge $10,000 to PBS to end the pledge break and get his favorite program back on the air. When PBS comes collecting, he goes on the run. Reverend Lovejoy helps Homer out by sticking him on a plane to do some missionary work in the South Pacific. It doesn't take long for Homer to corrupt the native population. Since he doesn't know anything about religion, he has the natives build a casino. Soon the island then turns from a tropical paradise into Atlantic City.

Best quotes:

Homer: I'm not NOT licking toads.
"It's a beautiful day... TO KICK YOUR ASS!" -Mr. Rogers

"God is powerful, but insecure. Like Barbra Streisand before James Brolin." -Homer

"We in Springfield are simple folk. We like our cars fast and our banks closed." -Homer

"Great, now my testicle's got ants on it" -Homer

Homer: Craig and Amy...Craig and Amy...why don't you MARRY Craig and Amy?

Homer: OH SAVE ME JEBUS!!!!!!

Here endith the lesson.

that betty white is a real hard-ass who would have guessed...

personal favourite moment of that ep, Rev Lovejoy sneaking homer out of the church in a burlap bag, and telling the mob he's just "taking children's letters to god to the dump." classic
