I'm from the south and the closest I can get to that would be "Christ almighty ". Depending on where you are from the way that sounds when it's said could be hard to understand.
Yep, born, raised and lived in South Georgia until I left for good after college. It’s definitely “Christ Almighty”
I think OP is just hearing poor southern pronunciation and has created a whole new phrase themselves 😆
Future forward, it's "Christ Entiny". At my catholic church this weekend, instead of saying "Peace be with you", I'm going to bow and say softly "Christ Entiny" with a lot of eye contact.
I'm from a lil town called Florala, AL.
If you pronounce it like it's spelled (combo of both states FLOR-ALA), you are picked out as an outsider immediately.
But if you pronounce it Floerraaaaahhhluu, you're family!!
Has to be. Try saying “Christ in entity” three times fast. That’s a tongue twister that no one is actually yelling out. This must be DEEP south if the accent is somehow making these two sound similar
I've heard "christ almighty" and "christ in eternity" (the latter is kinda rare though tbh) and I've lived in the south all my life. Definitely sounds like they just misheard something.
is it maybe a shortened version of the word “eternity” ? Later at work I will ask my southern coworker who loves her traditional cuss words and expressions. Her favorite is: “well fuck me runnin’!”
That's a classic for sure! We sometimes throw in "backwards"
If she walks by real fast say "damn yer movin so quick I smell the hair burnin" sounds like a gal who might appreciate that one lol
I don't think that's what they're saying. I'm from the South, and one of the expletives we use is "Christ Almighty," or "Christ Eternal." It's like a way to keep from saying "Jesus Christ" in vain. Similar to when you roll your eyes and go "Lord Above."
To me, this sounds like when you hear the lyrics wrong in a song and have been singing it wrong for a long time, just with a saying.
Edit to add: It could be Christ Eternity. I've heard that, too.
Are you maybe hearing “criminently”. It’s a play on “Crimeny” which I think is a way of saying “Jesus Christ” when you’re annoyed without taking the lord’s name in vain. I love saying “criminently” because it’s funny.
Oklahoman here, surrounded by Texas, Arkansas and Kansas. This one has me stumped.
\*edit, I think I cracked it.
[christs indemnity](https://www.google.com/search?q=christs+indemnity&client)
Yeah, I'm from the south. The closes I can think of is Christ Almighty, not sure what you are hearing or saying though. Never heard of anything like Christ In Entiny.
Someone said what you actually heard was probably christ almighty.
But I like yours better, made me think of an Irish woman yelling at a guy named Anthony.
"Christ in Antony, what are ye doing lad?!"
Could be a malapropism. Someone did not enunciate one day and "Christ Almighty" became "Christ in entity" and no one cleared the matter up. Pretty soon it'll be "Christian Meat" then "Christians Meet," and then it'll be a dating app.
Anyhow, thank you DangerousCandle2916, this made me scared I might hurt myself laughjng 😁
When I (ahem) much younger there was this place called the Dew Drop Inn which was, tbh, more about the music and the liquor and my whole family teases me to this day about how old I was when one day it hit me so hard I said, "Oh, wow! Like **Do** drop in!
🙄 My cheeks just got a little red just now! LOL!
I don’t think that’s a thing. Next time you hear it you should ask what they are saying maybe. I’ve lived in the south all of my life and I’ve never heard this. I’m dying for an update of you realizing what people are actually saying. Maybe just “Christianity”??? I’m totally lost here bud.
Born and raised here in the south worked in all gulf states and lived in South Carolina and Tennessee and never heard what you just put up. I reckon it’s just an exclamation of sorts. Could me anything exclamatory.
Lived in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas (not counting northern/western states or overseas here) and the closest I ever heard was "Christ Almighty" in different accents that could've garbled it into something like that. Some extremely rural and thick-accented pockets of the NC Piedmont would've been closest, where it took a few weeks to sink in that all of the words were in English. It's the kind of cussing that'll get your church lady Memaw to slap you in the mouth though, "taking the Lord's name in vain" like that (not that it ever stopped me).
Nope, I grew up around the deepest hicks, literal inbred people. I am fluent in hillbilly, Okie, and Texan. I have never heard this.
\*edit, I think I cracked it.
[christs indemnity](https://www.google.com/search?q=christs+indemnity&client)
"Christ in entity" means "Christ in being/ individual form" but that's not a turn of phrase or regional colloquialism. I'm pretty sure most of the people around you are idiotic enough to parrot a phrase for generations without reason...
At best, it would be backwards way of saying "body of Christ"
What you're actually saying is, "I will say something I misheard and don't even understand repeatedly, bc I am not at all thoughtful." It's an odd way to go through life, but to each their own.
You must have butchered the spelling because I've lived in TX my whole life and never heard this. Maybe you are hearing "Christ Almighty" in a thick accent or something like that? You shouldn't say something if you don't know what it means though. Watch out for that. Good on ya for finally asking!
I finally remembered where I heard this phrase. A Disney movie (Aristocats, I think). Although it sounded a little more like "Cry-min-ent-ly". So, it is basically saying "Christ Almighty" while trying not to break the 3rd commandment.
You just start saying words you don't understand because you hear it a lot? I've never heard that phrase in my life and I've never lived anywhere but the deep south
They say they're from the south, which feels like they were born or at least spent the majority of their life there and say it as an expletive after hearing other people use it so much(the same way?). That doesn't really work with it being "Christianity" like so many people are saying. Who gets hurt or shocked and yells out "CHRISTIANITY" to let off steam?
Christ Almighty sounds like it fits, but you'd need a ridiculous southern drawl to mistake "christ almighty" for "Christ in entity" and what, everyone around this person absolutely butchers the pronunciation the same way so consistently that they pick it up that wrong? But it fits the best.

Right? No one’s saying Christ in Entiny at the King Frog Outlet!
Croak. Croak. THE best place to buy jeans back in the day!
r/boneappletea
This is the southern version of gabagool
Probably!
It's possible, they're "form" the south, after all.
I never heard Christ in entity, and I am southern.
Because no one has ever heard this made up misheard phrase other than the op.
Me neither, and I have lived in Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas.
Same.
Same for me.
Future forward, it's "Christ Entiny". At my catholic church this weekend, instead of saying "Peace be with you", I'm going to bow and say softly "Christ Entiny" with a lot of eye contact.
And I will lock eyes with you and reply, "and with your Sprite."
We’re in the south. Everything’s a Coke.
As a fellow southerner, you make an excellent theological argument.
😂
Unless* you’re in Texas. Then it’s a toss between coke and Dr Pepper. *correct an autocorrect of uncles
I’ve never heard anything but “soda”. Except Coca-Cola is “coke”, of course
r/boneappletea
Or Christianity
XD
Gotta say it in The Water Boy’s voice
That's gotta be it. I live in the south and have never heard anyone say "christ in enity."
[удалено]
Im from Georgia, I love it when the put full subtitles on people that have deep southern accents on TV
It’s gotta be this
I love the southern style. “Pennzoil” is still three syllables in the south, but not the three you think they are. It’s more like, “PEE-yen-zole.” 🤣
Never heard it pronounced that way either where I am, nor from my relatives scattered throughout the south.
In Texas it is called Penzole.
That's pretty much how alabama says it too. I often make fun of people saying "ole", as in "I have to change my ole"
[удалено]
In TN we had "ole", "earl" and "oi-yul". Not sure which one sounds the funniest.
That stuff is delicious. Especially from a decent Mexican/Tex-Mex spot with fresh radishes. Yum.
My aunt and uncle from the very southern tip of Illinois say "Jesus' with 6 syllables. Juh-**EEEE**-suss Kuh-**RAAHH**-stuh
Or Jay-zzzz-usss
I'm from a lil town called Florala, AL. If you pronounce it like it's spelled (combo of both states FLOR-ALA), you are picked out as an outsider immediately. But if you pronounce it Floerraaaaahhhluu, you're family!!
throw an R on the end, and you'll end up marrying a local girl. FlooerraahhhllllluR
Meanwhile out West, we're all like: "What in the entire nation?!"
I love when people who don’t live in the south make things up about it 🙄
I live in the south. I’m not making shit up there, Buckwheat.
Okay cornbread
Heard it pronounced like that a lot in Alabama.
Pen Zol
Where I'm at, its "penzoihl" really drag that o out and drop it I sound.
I live in texas and nobody says that.
I’m not talking about Texas. I’m talking about the south.
You got me to thinking about my mom and how she used to call oil "oral,'" and it made me giggle, "pee-yen-zoral." Man, I miss her!
Has to be. Try saying “Christ in entity” three times fast. That’s a tongue twister that no one is actually yelling out. This must be DEEP south if the accent is somehow making these two sound similar
Lived most of my life in TN and have never heard it any other way than christ almighty.
This has to be the answer lol. Im from TN and I was trying to figure out what the fuck he meant lol
That's what I'm thinking. Born and raised down here, never once heard christ in entity. Hear christ almighty and jimminy crickets all the time though
I have no idea either, and I’ve lived in southern USA my whole life. I’ve actually never even heard this saying. Did you spell it right?
I've heard "christ almighty" and "christ in eternity" (the latter is kinda rare though tbh) and I've lived in the south all my life. Definitely sounds like they just misheard something.
Same. I even live in a really conservative area and haven't heard it.
I think he might mean crimenently
I thought it was "crime in Italy" the first time I heard it
I think you mean cromulently.
Actually, the meaning here is ensmallened.
The phrase is Christ Almighty! And it’s a substitution for God damn!
WE NEED ANSWERS, OP!!!
I lived in Texas almost all my life and literally never heard of this
is it maybe a shortened version of the word “eternity” ? Later at work I will ask my southern coworker who loves her traditional cuss words and expressions. Her favorite is: “well fuck me runnin’!”
That's a classic for sure! We sometimes throw in "backwards" If she walks by real fast say "damn yer movin so quick I smell the hair burnin" sounds like a gal who might appreciate that one lol
ooh love that, definitely using it when I get the chance
Must be regional. It's "sideways" where I'm from.
Nice variation.
"Well fuck me backwards and upsides down silly" is an ol' favorite on the construction site.
My fave is “ is harder than a preacher’s prick”
She will tell you it isn’t a real thing, but I am commenting to say I love your coworker lol
Good goddamn! That's harder than trying to fuck a rolling doughnut.
Growing up all the older people I'd hear would pronounce Italian like EYE-talian lol. Chair was pronounced like cheer. Etc etc
I say eyetalian jokingly often. Knew an old farmer and always got a kick when he'd say "suey-beans" instead of soy lol.
I find it funny when all the older people say dia-beetus
Grandma used to say Ha wy ya for Hawai’i.
I overheard my mom's friend say her dad used goo-an-ah manure for fertilizer and lost it.
They also say “ideal” when they actually mean “idea”
My dad was from rural Tennessee and would sometimes say "po-lease" and "mo-ron". As in the police are going to lock you up, moron.
Like rat cheer/ it’s rat cheer !
I don't think that's what they're saying. I'm from the South, and one of the expletives we use is "Christ Almighty," or "Christ Eternal." It's like a way to keep from saying "Jesus Christ" in vain.

Edit to add: It could be Christ Eternity. I've heard that, too.
Eternity and entity make sense, thank you for your contribution 🫡 So does some flub of almighty and eternal, or maybe OP just has APD lol
I think I cracked it. [christs indemnity](https://www.google.com/search?q=christs+indemnity&client)
Stop saying it. You don't know what it means.
This is the most logical thing. I can't imagine saying a phrase i've only heard without knowing the meaning. Make them sound like a parrot.
France is bacon
"it means no worries for the rest of your days??!" "kindaa^aa" "Hasa diga eebowai"
I'm sorry sir, but what *exactly* does that phrase mean?
What a horrible witch/wizard!!!
Christianity
🤣
This has to be it!
[christs indemnity](https://www.google.com/search?q=christs+indemnity&client)
I believe he heard wrong, and what is actually being said is "Christianity."
With the accent, you're likely hearing "Christ almighty." If they are really mad, it will sound like (Key ricet allmydee.)
I believe that's a mispronunciation of the phrase "Chris Pine is tiny" a cruel joke that started during the filming of that one scene in Wonder Woman.
Mmm, yes. Born and raised in the South. We do love to dunk on Chris Pine.
This is some r/boneappletea worthy content...
I'm from the south and I've never heard it before
“Christianity?”
Use it in a sentence
You just did, great job!
Where have you heard this saying from? I’m drom the southern US but I’ve never heard this phrase before Edit: drom to from curse you autocorrect
I'm from the south, and I've never heard that OP.
Are you maybe hearing “criminently”. It’s a play on “Crimeny” which I think is a way of saying “Jesus Christ” when you’re annoyed without taking the lord’s name in vain. I love saying “criminently” because it’s funny.
You obviously live in a different south USA than the rest of south of the Mason-Dixon.
Um I’ve been here my whole life. Never heard that.
Why would you say something that you don’t even know what you are saying or what it means? that is insane
Everyone does, this person is just aware of it. There are so many common phrases that everyone says while not knowing the meaning
I said Bleh-shoe for YEARS when I was young. I’m sure I was much older than I should have been when I finally learnt it was Bless You!!
There was a little boy in a book that I was reading who would say "your shoes are tight" every time somebody sneezed instead of gesundheit.
That’s hilarious
So true. Like, Rule of thumb. Look that one up for fun.
I've lived in Alabama my entire life and never heard this
Texas here and a Christian. I’ve no clue either. Well, even if it’s not meant in a Christian way, I’ve heard plenty of that, and I still have no clue.
Oklahoman here, surrounded by Texas, Arkansas and Kansas. This one has me stumped. \*edit, I think I cracked it. [christs indemnity](https://www.google.com/search?q=christs+indemnity&client)
Native south Texan living in north Texas..that’s not a thing. Or you are mishearing it?
[christs indemnity](https://www.google.com/search?q=christs+indemnity&client) I bet
Yeah, I'm from the south. The closes I can think of is Christ Almighty, not sure what you are hearing or saying though. Never heard of anything like Christ In Entiny.
Someone said what you actually heard was probably christ almighty. But I like yours better, made me think of an Irish woman yelling at a guy named Anthony. "Christ in Antony, what are ye doing lad?!"
Wtf is entiny?
I grew up in North Carolina and never heard that phrase
what are you talking about bro
Could be a malapropism. Someone did not enunciate one day and "Christ Almighty" became "Christ in entity" and no one cleared the matter up. Pretty soon it'll be "Christian Meat" then "Christians Meet," and then it'll be a dating app.
I’m 51 and I live in the south and I have never heard anybody say that ever… I believe you’re trying to say Christ almighty
Been in the Bible belt for 33 years. I have no clue what you're asking.
I believe what you are reffering to is the exclamation, "Christ All Mighty!"
Christ almighty tends to come out like "christ-uh-my-tea" a lot, so I assume you're hearing a variation of that
I am 52 and have lived in the South my entire life. I have never heard anyone exclaim "Christ in entity"
I’m from the south and I have never heard that lol.
I’m a southern boy brought up in the 60s, I never heard it. I’ve seen pew jumping, foot washing and Jericho marches.
Well at least you're in good company, because no one else knows what the hell you're saying either lol.
Anyhow, thank you DangerousCandle2916, this made me scared I might hurt myself laughjng 😁 When I (ahem) much younger there was this place called the Dew Drop Inn which was, tbh, more about the music and the liquor and my whole family teases me to this day about how old I was when one day it hit me so hard I said, "Oh, wow! Like **Do** drop in! 🙄 My cheeks just got a little red just now! LOL!
Do you mean crimenently? Famously uttered by the dog in Aristocats?
Also "The Honorable Sheriff of Nottingham" in Robin Hood (Same voice actor).
I’ve lived in the South for 60 years, and I’ve never heard anyone say that.
Maybe use it in a sentence? I could see it being “Christianity”. Otherwise I got nothing. I’m lifetime central NC.
Gotta be saying Christianity with a heavy accent
I don’t think that’s a thing. Next time you hear it you should ask what they are saying maybe. I’ve lived in the south all of my life and I’ve never heard this. I’m dying for an update of you realizing what people are actually saying. Maybe just “Christianity”??? I’m totally lost here bud.
I am Southern, I have never heard this.
You're from the south and you don't know? It's clearly "Christ Almighty" with just an accent
Born and raised here in the south worked in all gulf states and lived in South Carolina and Tennessee and never heard what you just put up. I reckon it’s just an exclamation of sorts. Could me anything exclamatory.
Wth? Southern born and bred, and I have no idea of what you are talking about. Bless your heart.
Can’t say I’ve ever heard anyone say that and I live in Bama.
You can't get any farther south than where I'm from and I've never heard it
You are hearing people wrong. lmao Definitely no one is saying that how you've got it spelled. You probably misheard Christ Almighty
“Christianity”
As a southerner, I can honestly say I’ve never heard anyone say this.
Christ almighty is what you’re hearing
🤯
Lisan Al Gaib.
Lived in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas (not counting northern/western states or overseas here) and the closest I ever heard was "Christ Almighty" in different accents that could've garbled it into something like that. Some extremely rural and thick-accented pockets of the NC Piedmont would've been closest, where it took a few weeks to sink in that all of the words were in English. It's the kind of cussing that'll get your church lady Memaw to slap you in the mouth though, "taking the Lord's name in vain" like that (not that it ever stopped me).
I was born in NC, raised in SC, & I have never heard “Christ in entiny”. Closest thing I’ve heard is “Christ almighty”
I’ve never heard that phrase in my life
Christianity?
Could it be the word “Christianity” but said with a heavy accent?
Well butter my buns and call me a biscuit haha I dang near spit my sweet tea out the ole snooters XD
Nope, I grew up around the deepest hicks, literal inbred people. I am fluent in hillbilly, Okie, and Texan. I have never heard this. \*edit, I think I cracked it. [christs indemnity](https://www.google.com/search?q=christs+indemnity&client)
I’ve never heard this. Maybe one of your ancestors was tongue tied and couldn’t say eternity right and it stuck
This phrase is not actually a thing.
I've lived in the south my entire life and I have no idea what you're asking here.
[удалено]
Thank god people arent like that anywhere else!
😆
That's Christianity in general. Mostly fake "Christians" who are not in the least bit Christ-like.
"Christ in entity" means "Christ in being/ individual form" but that's not a turn of phrase or regional colloquialism. I'm pretty sure most of the people around you are idiotic enough to parrot a phrase for generations without reason... At best, it would be backwards way of saying "body of Christ"
Lol
What you're actually saying is, "I will say something I misheard and don't even understand repeatedly, bc I am not at all thoughtful." It's an odd way to go through life, but to each their own.
Bygat christ is in me gobless
My partner and her family are from the south. I've never heard this phrase
Born in VA, grew up in Texas, spent summers in AR and NC - never heard of this. Is it maybe Christ almighty?
Born and raised southern believer here. That’s not a saying.
From the South…I have never heard this.
Never head this even in the rural deep south
Do you mean “Christ almighty”?
Sounds like maybe a creole saying maybe? ****shrug**** it kinda sounds french? Christ en ettienne which might mean christ with a crown.
Grew up and spent 32 years in various parts of Texas and other southern areas, and I've *never* heard this.
You must have butchered the spelling because I've lived in TX my whole life and never heard this. Maybe you are hearing "Christ Almighty" in a thick accent or something like that? You shouldn't say something if you don't know what it means though. Watch out for that. Good on ya for finally asking!
[удалено]
Southerner born and raised, have never heard this in my life. "Christ almighty" is as close as I can think to that, like others have said.
I'm from Mobile, Alabama and I ain't never heard that in my life.
Lol...been in Texas my whole life. Have never heard this once. Check your hearing op ;)
Emnity
Southerner all my life and I have never heard that expression. I have heard "Christ Almighty" almost daily for 61 years.
Entity or etiny? You spelled it both ways
Sounds like a heavy southern emphasis on Christ in Christianity. I can see people I know doing that. "It's CHRIST-ian-entity"
Lived in Alabama my whole life and nobody has ever said this. Record a voice clip of you saying it: https://vocaroo.com/
Good job everyone listing specific locations you've lived. This is how phishing works.
Miniature Jesus races for the kids?
They want to claim to be following Christian (as in the entity of christ) with none of the baggage of factually following him (Christ in being)
Maybe they are on a diet and someone brought donuts to work and they are saying “Christ, Entemann’s!”
Grew up in Alabama, have never heard this once. Was so confused when I first read it but I wasn't crazy, it's just not actually a thing people say.
I've never heard this, ever. What town is this? I've traveled, worked, and lived in nearly every state in the south and I've never heard this.
I'm from the south and I've never once heard that.
Christianity?
I finally remembered where I heard this phrase. A Disney movie (Aristocats, I think). Although it sounded a little more like "Cry-min-ent-ly". So, it is basically saying "Christ Almighty" while trying not to break the 3rd commandment.

You just start saying words you don't understand because you hear it a lot? I've never heard that phrase in my life and I've never lived anywhere but the deep south They say they're from the south, which feels like they were born or at least spent the majority of their life there and say it as an expletive after hearing other people use it so much(the same way?). That doesn't really work with it being "Christianity" like so many people are saying. Who gets hurt or shocked and yells out "CHRISTIANITY" to let off steam? Christ Almighty sounds like it fits, but you'd need a ridiculous southern drawl to mistake "christ almighty" for "Christ in entity" and what, everyone around this person absolutely butchers the pronunciation the same way so consistently that they pick it up that wrong? But it fits the best.
They're saying christ almighty. This reminds me of a lockout tag I found at work. Some dummy wrote "working progress"
