: I have relatives who on occasion exclaim "Lord love a duck!" But I'm not sure what is meant by it. Does anyone know this one?

: Also, does anyone have any idea where it comes from?

It is an exclamation in the "boy, oh, boy" or "wowee" vein.
I have no idea as to it's derivation.

There was a 1966 or so film starring Roddy McDowall, Tuesday Weld, Lola Albright, Ruth Gordon and Harvey Korman named "Lord Love A Duck", a way out off-beat comedy that lampooned the 60s Southern California teen culture.
