Oh My Gosh (expression)



The phrase Oh my Gosh was an invention by an American screenwriter, Donald Robinson to get around the tight blasphemy restrictions of the Hayes code. It is a portmanteau between 'Oh my God' and 'Gosh', both phrases in English which are intended to show a strong feeling about a certain thing — the unity of which is used commonly in Western language despite the fact that the statement is a nonsense.
