Funnily enough, in Spain we call the crackers/wafers/whatevertheyare Hostias, and hostias is one of our catch-all terms for yelling "Jesus!" in shock or bewilderment

Funny, there's also an English phrase "Christ on a cracker!"

Christ on a Cracker is better with Cheesus.

In Quebec French "host" is used in the same way. So are chalice, Tabernacle, virgin Mary and I'm probably forgetting some.
