Me too.

How about, yaba daba doo, aka, The Flintstones.

An old friend who love to watch cartoons with his young daughter used to say that all time.

Here in eastern NC, they like to say Bless your heart, to soften the blow for speaking ill of someone.
"He's as bald as a cue-ball, bless his heart."

Blondie, who still lives here, still is beautiful and still is sweet and still is mega smart..And the only psychologist I knew who was absolutely a show stopper and rode a Harley used to say....

Holy Hat!

I loved that.

We used to say in New York, "Well, excuse me for breathing", as a scarcastic respone for someone bing critical.

OK, as long as we're branching into other interesting sayings I've got one.

Holy crap on a cracker!

I love the show Big Bang Theory. The female lead loves to say that. Anyone ever heard that in real life?

Nope, although Gracie does come up with some very original and entertaining "isms", I grew up in Georgia with "boy howdy"!:MOJE_whot:

My uncle from Kentucky used to say, "Boy, howdy!" to us kids. We knew we had done something so dumb that he was struck speechless. At the same time, we didn't feel stupid since he hadn't called us dumb, we'd just done or said something done. Worked for us. I've always taken Gracie's, "Boy, howdy!" the same way -- something that left her speechless but still where something needed to be said.

Brings back memories. My Polish mother in law used to say that.
