    Used instead of Jesus titty fupping Christ for those afraid of spending an eternity buring in Hell for taking our Lord Jebus Christ's name in vain.

    Nope, but I think it was used as an expression of surprise, as in the saying.

    I knew a girl called Janey MacCarthy and we called her Janey Mac. Apparently she was decent in the sack but the lad who told us didn't have the highest standards and we couldn't figure out if he was identifying her as his bed partner or was just amazed at who he did sleep with.

    Djaynee(Deimne) Mac most likely refers to the birth name of the pre christian god-like figure of the old Gaelic Irish, Fionn Mac Cumhaill.

    Janey Mack was the name of a great warrior. Had the power to resurrect the undead threads so she did.
