LOL. We Presbies have always used "descended into hell." When I was a kid, I thought it was cool that we got to cuss in church -- and in the same part of the service that we got to talk about virgins.

I remember my friend Jenn and I around 3rd grade really loving that part of "What Child Is This" when they talk about "where ox and ASS are feeding."

One Lutheran song recalled from third grade had the phrase "free spirit" near the end, and I always softly added the word "bra" thinking of those daytime women's television ads of the '60's.
