My mother was born in 1917. Her version was, “Oh my god, “ she cried, in accents wild and shook her woolen head and wrapped her wooden leg around a lamppost and cried, “Whoopee!”. It occurred to me today and my husband suggested I google it. What a surprise to find this thread! Both of my parents were from western NY. My father was in the army in WW II serving in the Pacific. He used to say, “I see,” said the blind man, as he picked up his hammer and saw. It was a delight to read through so ,many responses from many different sources. Felt like a family sharing of memories.
