If you were looking for a word with the same feeling as 'jeez,' as in 'jeez, McKay, inappropriate much?' but couldn't use it because the person saying it doesn't come from a culture that has Jesus, and hence can't have jeez, what word would you use instead?

(It's not Teyla, despite the icon, but it is someone who was raised in Pegasus, and hence has the Ancients as Gods thing)

It's driving me nuts, to the point of wanting to leave it in, except that now I've noticed, I can't *un-notice* it and it'll bug me every time I look at the story from now on.

My sanity thanks you for any suggestions :o)

Yeah, good point about the absence of an anthropologist on SGA. But why couldn't we have had a bit of dialogue in which Teyla or Ronon explain what exactly it is they believe about the Ancestors? Or how their two cultures maybe differed. (Because I actually see Ronon having more belief in the Ancestors than Teyla as per "The Return", which is interesting considering Halling's faith.)

*is bitter too*

Wow, I go to bed for a few hours and the two of you have had a whole theological debate about the whole thing :o)

The end result of which I can now steal.
