Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in a new interview revealed why she rarely calls former President Donald Trump by his name.

Instead, the former House speaker often refers to Trump of whom she is a fierce critic as whats his name.

Trump is a grotesque word, Pelosi told The Guardians Jonathan Freedland in the latest episode of the British newspapers Politics Weekly America podcast released Tuesday.

You just dont like the word passing your lips? asked Freedland.

I just dont, Pelosi replied. Im afraid, you know, when I grew up Catholic, as I am now, if you said a bad word, you could burn in hell if you didnt have a chance to confess. So I dont want to take any chances, she explained.

Its up there with, like, swearing, Pelosi added.

Later in the interview, though, Pelosi did refer to the GOP presidential nominee by name when talking about his attacks on freedom of speech.

But she quickly repented.

I said his name, oh my gosh, said Pelosi. I hope I dont burn in hell.
