First of all, it's criminy, not "crimany," and when I employ it, I am making no reference to Christ or any other diety. It's a simple (and wonderfully outdated) euphemism designed to express exasperation without resorting to profanity. I find it sad the way religious types always assume everything is an attempt to "use the lord's name in vain." I mean, CRIMINY!

Well, it's not really a word but it's used as an expression. Kind of like "Oh my God" or "what were you thinking?" or "wow" in a particularly hard to believe situation.
