Jesus H. Christ
Shocked oath expression
Jesus H.
Christ is an emphatic oath expressing surprise, frustration, or exasperation: Jesus H. Christ, what were you thinking?
The mysterious H, often said to stand for nothing, intensifies the exclamation beyond plain "Jesus Christ." Like other Jesus-based oaths, it's considered profane by religious Christians but mild by general standards.
The H may derive from the Greek monogram IHC (from ΙΗΣΟΥΣ, Jesus), misread as initials.
