Cheese and rice (Jesus Christ!)

[Mullins, Bill AMRDEC]

The character Lt. Howard Hunter on "Hill Street Blues" used to say
"Judas Priest" as a profanity, but the band with that name goes back to
the late sixties.

Somewhere in a late 1970's comic book (maybe X-Men?), a character
uttered "Judith Christ", which was also the name of a NY film critic.
