A reason to shout out this word is..To be in utter Dismay, to see something so insanely intense, You'll shit bricks for a week, Handicapping you to walk like you have a dildo shoved up your ass.
Warning: Saying this word may cause you to tap dance uncontrollably, like how Bill Cosby says "God Dammit!", or "Jesus Christ!", even as much as how he slurs his speech, which sounds like he has a dildo shoved down his throat.
Little Sally: Hiya Little Billy!
Little Billy: Hey Sally!

Little Billy: Holy Jesus Tap Dancing Christ!
*Billy shits bricks, Tap-Dances home with dildo shoved up his ass, and tells parents about what happened to Sally which then causes a 'Brick-Shitting Chain Reaction*

John Belushi: "YES! YES! JESUS H. TAP-DANCING CHRIST, I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!" (Proceeds to do backflips down the church aisle)

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
