How come people always say "Jesus H. Christ"? Why not Jesus Q. Christ or Jesus R. Christ or something else? Does the H really stand for something?

In general when someone is saying "Jesus H. Christ " is usually peeved about something or other. if one were to say his holy name without the "H" in it would then be taking his name in a vain manner. I have not read any scripture about using his name in vain would be one step more to a passport to hell. One of the Big "10" Commandments says that humans will not take Gods name in vain. And hence forth since Jesus is of royalty as the son of God, the commandment would also apply to any of his family,we assume. One could put the "q" or any other letter in as an insurance policy, the letter "H" has been sort of passed on to us from hearing it from our elders.
it would be a good guess to assume "H" stands for Holy.

Christ are imprecise

H stands for Holy - It's his middle name; he was named after his Uncle Holy Ghost....
