Oh, heavens, no! Jews don't even pronounce that name
when reading the Scriptures. It is far too sacred to
be spoken. I've heard that before the destruction of
the Temple, that name was pronounced only once per
year , on the Day of Attonement, by the High Priest
inside the Holy of Holies. No one else dared
pronounce it. The idea of using it as a by-word.
Never. I can't imagine a Jew even dreaming of such a
blasphemy.
