I wonder why there isn't any discussion about the recent minicast on the expression "Great Googly Moogly!" It's a phrase I enjoy, and I would love to hear it used more frequently.

This is probably where I first encountered it:

Hmm. I totally missed the boat here. I thought the Snickers commercial made it up.

Looks like I forgot to make sure the discussion forum post auto-created, so thanks for bring it to my attention. Here it is. Better late than never, I guess.

I always thought the term came from the Barney Google comic... Barney Google & his Goo-goo-googly eyes.

It sounds kind of Moe, Larry & Curly-ish though if you think of it...
