: : Does anyone know where the phrase jumping jehosephat came from?

: Since nobody has so far, on this forum, been able to give a satisfactory answer to your question I propose in the words of Churchill (1874 - 1965) to classify it as '.a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma'.

Except, of course, that Jehosephat was a king in the Bible.
