What does GEMINI mean in Scrabble?

A speaker who said gemini was swearing by the heavenly twins without naming anything holier, which is why the word survived in print long after plainer oaths were edited out. It reads today as quaint rather than strong, and turns up mostly in dialogue set before the last century.
