I thought it was stating that something is God’s will for your own purposes. AFAIK it’s not just using terms for God as a curse.

Pretty bizarre if people do this. I’ve never heard it to mean anything but linoleum.

But a lot of people in the US use the word “turf” to specify not turf (i.e. artificial turf), so there’s no reason for words to mean things.

What? One of linoleum’s benefits is not off gassing and not being made from fossil fuels. Are you thinking of vinyl?
