    Is Holy Cow a bad expression to say in India?

    I used "sweet jebus" as an insult, and that's why I said it that way

    they don't speak English in India, I like to say "holy cow", but I suspect it could be considered disrespectful, yes.

    English is widely spoken in India. My Dad spent 6 months in Bombay when I was a kid. He said he never had trouble communicating with the natives.

    I've seen your sig. Didn't you once ask me for money in an airport?

    Why? Wouldn't that be like saying Holy Mary mother of God for a Christian? I mean the cow is holy for them.

    it's really a matter of intent, I'd say

    Hinduism is very open to interpretation, but the many gods and other things are generally misunderstood

    Cows are holy for me too. Especially the part of the cow that is a prime ribeye grilled to perfection.
