The minced oaths used by a religion's members should be updated yearly and voted upon by an appointed council. This council would decide, for the various religions, which new pseudo-blasphemous terms are to be used, which are to be discontinued, and for what period of time. The composition of the council should be:
a. One high-ranking church official from each of the various religions
b. A foul-mouthed stand-up comedian
c. A effete Jewish writer from New York
d. A child, woman, or cripple
e. Someone's grandfather
This council I have decided, will be called The Institute for the Development and Dissemination of Minced Oaths (IDDMO), and will have a monthly news-letter called the Jeepers H. Cracker.
Anyone can submit their suggestions for "swears" to the council who will create a shortlist of finalists (in November) for final selection in January.
I've already got my suggestions ready. Have you?
