Talking Re: holy sh**

We also have (in the US):
holy cow!
holy Toledo ! (No, I have NO idea how Toledo Ohio earned this place in American slang. It does sound good, though.)
holy crap !
holy Mother of God ! (Very sacrilegious)
.............
ex-US-President Harry Truman was known for this one when he got his dander up: "Jesus Christ and General Jackson !!!!" (Referring to General Andy Jackson, who had quite an ego, thereby HST was creating some irony by including his name along with Jesus Christ.)
