Gosh has never been to Heck, but his son Jeez (or Jeez-o-pete, translations differ) went there for a while. When he got there, he said, "Gosh, it's hot down here!" And Gosh spake, saying, "Jeez, what did you expect?"

not sure. I am making a gues that people didn't want to say "god dammit" so instead they use "gosh" in its place so as not to use the Lord's name in vain. Besides it being innappropriate it is also offensive to certain people. Then again this is just a guess because people say the word "gosh" a lot just by itself. In that situation i really don't know.

Probably the same place "heck" came from.
I always assumed "gosh" took the place of saying "god" and "heck" took the place of "hell" for someone who wanted to cuss without cussing.

Corruption is an ethic. It goes along with "fun" which apparently literally means "to befool." It's a rebellious style of humour that puts laughter and an aching heart as a heroic type, as opposed to the humility mentioned in James 4.
2 Corinthians 2:17
Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.
The word for "peddle" here has to do with breaking things into pieces so as to on-sell parts of it only, so the fee is essentially for the labour time involved in diluting the original product. It is apparently related to phrases like "for Pete's sake." This makes sense to me as holding guilt trips over people's heads has been part of Christianity for a while now apparently. Did you see the episode of Simpsons not long ago where the criminals in jail say that language is their trade? It means who you know.

More to the point, why does substituting words make it ok to say something when it's obviously with the same intent....which is more important, intentions, or the sounds that your mouth makes? That's almost good enough to be it's own topic!

probably a polite way of cursing rather than evoking the name of god like gadzooks came from gods hooks; the nails of the crucifixion.
