Oh My Gosh (expression)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The phrase Oh my Gosh was an invention by an American screenwriter, Donald Robinson to get around the tight blasphemy restrictions of the Hayes code. It is a portmanteau between 'Oh My God' and 'Gosh', both phrases in English which are intended to show a strong feeling about a certain thing — the unity of which is used commonly in Western language despite the fact that the statement is a nonsense.
