how the devil's name

a synonym phrase for, and a less rude version of, 'how the fuck'
father: son go do your homework and improve your grades.

son (scowling): how the devil's name did you know my grades were so poor?

father: I had the common sense to clean out the ashes from the fireplace. And guess what else? Bits and pieces of your report card. Put two and two together and the result is, that you tried burning your report card; didn't want your mom and myself to see it, I'd imagine?

taking the lord's name in vein

referring to to proclaim one's actions or words as coming from the Judaeo-Christian God when in fact the actions or words are not from God at all. Reference Exodus verse similar to "You shall not make wrongful use of the name of your God".

This commandment has nothing to do with the phrase "God dammit" as many superstitious simpletons have comes to believe.
Examples of taking the Lord's name in vein are:
"God told me that you should let me marry your 13 year old daughter"
"In the name of Jesus, I command you to . . "
"God sent me to do this"
"I am on a mission from God"
"God told me to tell you to send in 1 million dollars, operators are standing by."
"God hates fags"
"God hates America"
"God caused natural disaster A, B, C to punish group A, B, C"
"God told me blah blah blah"
