Oh, thanks for the explanation. When I was asking where the word "hostie" is originated from, I was thinking that where do you get the idea from. Because when I was searching for the word "hostie", the first or second hit by google says it is a curse word.

When used as a swear word, hostie may also written without the letters "h", "e" or without both letters. It is a french biblical word (the sacramental bread) often...

Yes, I know that.

It seems that I always pick a name that will be "curse" somewhere... :P
