Is it sinful to say "Oh my gosh"?

In many cases, it may just be a spontaneous expression of surprise. While it can be seen as morally questionable to thoughtlessly invoke God's name, this type of expression typically doesn't rise to the level of a serious sin. Phrases like "oh my gosh" or "goodness" do not mention God directly, and thus would generally not be deemed sinful.
