(albeit not said in English)

(and an extremely common at that)

That is the biggest factor in my annoyance with it. Can't come up with anything else, once in a while?

Shit tastes like chocolate compared to how it sounds when thw specific phrase "Oh my god" is dropped in English in a conversation that's not even in English by people who don't even have it as their first language.

I've reached the point where that phrase just sounds like a poor pop-culture reference than an actual expression.

I think "Devil in hell" is my most commonly used everyday swearing expression

I mean, it's the phrase itself and that I can't escape hearing it.

I often say versions of stuff myself like "Dear God", "God in heaven" etc in other languages when I express things and react to stuff.

I cuss and swear like a cocksucking, shiteating dogfucker too in everyday conversations, so I wouldn't describe myself as crude or offended by stuff. Swearing over here mentions hell and devil a lot, so I'm not a stranger to popping off those ones, either.

It's just that phrase specifically in English that irks me as boring and unimaginative for being overused everywhere. Throwing that phrase in English during non-English speech just sounds more like aping stuff than a genuine expression. Vanilla is at a quadrillion Scoville scale compared tho the phrase.

Specifically that three-worded phrase. Not "Oh, God" or"My God" - I don't have anything to say about them. It's about the whole "Oh, my god" package.

I am sick and tired of hearing that one everywhere I turn or go.

I may have been overexposed with that phrase specifically

It's uncreative and just sounds like aping when that phrase is said in English specifically in everyday conversations that aren't even English.

I lose respect for people when I hear them saying Oh my God. Even more so when English isn't their first language.

Also the phrase I understand, but - no, you fucking don't, just admit that you neither agree or understand

Ubuntu brings a ton of awkward and shit memories from the course we had on it in secondary school.

Admittedly, Linux Mint is the only distro I have used in a personal capacity.

I do. I do pray and observe Ramadan, avoid pork, and so on. I did it as a child and a teenager - but there was a while in my young adult years of briefly slipping into a bad lifestyle and abusing shit to cope with work and poor mental health at the time. To be frank, it was the fact that I took my driver's license that made me do away with that stuff.

Thankfully, I have had a spiritual re-awakening since then and found back to those roots. It's a good thing for me that allows me to stay grounded keep my humility. It's a gift that I'm proud of to have received from my parents. I've managed to shave away other vices such as gambling, but other vices like nicotine remain.

This happens to be my heritage and my life story. Having been born and raised in a secular country, I've seen and heard enough to recognize that everyone has their own heritage and their own life story. What's yours?

I've had the same exported Nova settings through the last ten years since Samsung Galaxy Note 3 across five phones, as well as a tablet

The original Robocop movie is an all-time favourite of mine, as far as violent revenge movies go.

It's a great blend with gratuitous violence - not to mention the story that puts the protagonist through the absolute ringer for it to all pay off in the end.

Muslim, born to muslim parents. I was raised in it and still hold on it as it's a good way for me to honor my parents and those who came before them.
