Trying Out Some New Vocab

Schatz (while talking to herself about something):  Holy shit.

Roger (choking and trying to maintain his military bearing): What did you just say?

Schatz (nonchalantly):  Holy shit.

Me: Don't say "holy shit".  It's a bad word.  I don't like it.

Schatz: Holy?

Me:  No, the other word. 

Schatz (thinks a minute): How about ship?  Can I say holy ship?

Me: No.

Schatz:  Why not?

Me: Because I'll know you mean the other word.

Schatz (winks and shots me the finger guns) : Oh. Okay.
