Hello everyone!
I am doing an assignment in American Literature and encountered the idiom "Dog my Cats!"
My questions is - Does the idiom belong to a certain type of slang?
For example, in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" it is used by Jim, the escaped slave.
Is it a part of the African American Vernacular English (AAVE)?
Thank you!
