holy mackerel
Language: English
Part of speech: intj
Etymology: Recorded from 1803 with uncertain origin, but possibly a euphemism for Holy Mary, with Mackerel being a nickname for Catholics because they ate the fish on Fridays.

Senses: examples: text: ‘Holy mackerel!’ he whispered. ‘Englehorn! Driscoll! Get a look at this thing.’
