Giddy Aunt Mugs

An old English idiom meaning oh my word, oh my god, an exclamation of surprise or exasperation or an expletive! Whatever next! From the phrase Oh my Giddy Aunt! It was used as a playful euphemism to avoid blasphemy and is thought to have derived from (if not quoted from) the farcical comedy Charley's Aunt by Brandon Thomas that ran for 1,466 performances on its first production starting December 1892.
