Okay this has been killing me for a very long time.

When someone says "Jesus H. Christ," what the hell does the "H" stand for?

I am dying here. Can someone tell me?

Maybe for you. Yes.

[kvschwartz]

you're on the right track, B -- it's "holy"

[sweet_gemini]

I've never heard of someone say it with an "H" before.

[shoewater]

Now you have. :P

[mrs_ajax]

I think it stands for 'Hella,' proving once more that were Jesus to pick between north and south, NorCal would win, hands down. It's not 'Jesus The5 Christ' is it?

[sweet_gemini]

HAHA!
I love that.

:D :D :D

Please. It's Jesus The805 Christ. You're, like, so hella wrong.

[shoewater]

You're hella full of shit.

It's Jesus Hey Fuck you William Christ.

He came to me in a dream.

Two reasons..

1
The H stands for Harold, as in, "Our Father, who art in heaven, Harold be thy name"

and 2
It recalls the H in the IHS logo emblazoned on much Christian paraphernalia. IHS dates from the earliest years of Christianity, being an abbreviation of "Jesus" in classical Greek characters. The Greek pronunciation is "Iesous," with the E sound being represented by the character eta, which looks like an H. When the symbol passed to Christian Romans, for whom an H was an H, the unaccountable character eventually became accepted as Jesus's middle initial.

Ding ding ding. Out of all the answers, yours sounds most believable. You win a free ass spanking.
