Oh my gods
≈ “Oh my God”
/oh my GODZ/interjection
Demigods pluralize 'God' to 'gods' because in their world, the Greek gods are literally real. This small linguistic shift signals that the speaker knows the truth about the mythological world.

What the Hades
≈ “What the Hell”
/wut the HAY-deez/interjection
Demigods substitute 'Hades' for 'Hell' because Hades is literally the god of the Underworld in their reality. It functions identically to 'what the hell' but is theologically accurate.
