Talk:Holy cow (expression)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Could the expression "holy cow" be a reference to hinduism? Cows are actually considered holy in hinduism.

I heard it was adapted from the French "Sainte Vache!", which is a blasphemous reference to the Virgin Mary. Rhinoracer 13:28, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Should this be a page unto itself? I think that merging this with other "common" phrases (probably English-specific) would be a good idea. Regardless of whether or not the page is moved, though, the contents here definitely require some editing. GnomeWorks 23:41, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
