: I'm inclined to think it's older than the '40s. It may have had some currency in that period, but usually associated with rural types, as "quaint" language. There's also "my stars and garters," a bit more mysterious in origin....

"My stars and garters" is great...whatever it may have meant to people originally. Anyone got any more that start with "My ..."??
