jiminy cricket

An old term for not saying Jesus Christ, thus not using Christ's(God's) name in vain and not breaking one of the 10 Commandments or blaspheming. Usually used with emphasis.

Now people say: Jesus!, Jesus Christ!, geez!, or geez Louise! instead.

The term is older than the character from Disney films: a talking, singing, and fancy-looking cricket.

Puka Shell Necklace

Mid to late 1970s necklace made of small round white shells.
