Bible Note: Estelle, perhaps only an English usage nut like I am would give a second look at your sentence segment "pretty darn heated." The English word "darn" when used as a verb means to embroider or to mend, e.g., to darn one's socks. When used as an adverb or adjective, as in your construction, it is quite frankly a euphemism for "damned" and has been so used in the English language since 1781. It's easy enough to guess the underlying words for which expressions such as "gosh darned" are a euphemism, but to spell it out, "gosh" is euphemistic for "God" and, as already stated, "darn" is a euphemism for "damn." I don't mean to be picky or anything of the sort, but Christians should always be mindful of what they say and how they say it. --Hank |
