Christ almighty
Shocked religious exclamation
Christ almighty is an exclamation of surprise, frustration, or exasperation, invoking Jesus Christ for emphasis.
It intensifies the simpler "Christ" and carries the same range of uses: Christ almighty, what happened here?
The phrase may offend religious Christians who consider it taking the Lord's name in vain, though most speakers use it reflexively without religious intent.
