Jiminy", along with variants “Jiminy Christmas” and “Jiminy cricket” have been used as minced oaths for “Jesus Christ” since at least 1803. “Jiminy Cricket!” was uttered in Pinocchio 's immediate Disney predecessor, 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Hmm. we seem to be getting conflicting info from google.
Jiminy Christmas – “Jiminy Christmas” is a direct reference to Jesus Christ and dates back to 1664, when it was first recorded as “Gemini,” a twist on the Latin phrase Jesu domini. The name of the Walt Disney character Jiminy Cricket was probably based on this phrase.

Funny, but we should probably leave it at that as we dont want a religious discussion to ensue or people to get offended.

I thought that word was from England. The more I think about it, there is other languages so they have the F word as well. Holy sh-t

Candace Cameron (Full House) used to say “Oh Mylanta” instead of Oh My God. For y’all who don’t live in the United States Mylanta is an over the counter drug used to help settle upset stomach.
Instead of saying “sh*t!” I sometimes say “oh shoot monkeys”
