Everything about "pox leber" as a minced oath, and an earlier source.

I don't think it is a swear word, but a solemn oath by "the unwashed masses", considered blasphemous by "the church".
In this (Koen's) example we only have the view of "the church", so we can't know the true intent of "the unwashed masses". Maybe I am a sceptic, but I don't trust looking through the churches eyes. To know how people really used it and what they meant, we need to hear from them.

Though I do like to think it was like this Big Grin - You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
