Holy Canasta

[Adam Cruge]

From a different forum I got this:

I´ve received a mail from betterworldbooks.com, written by "my book" (a nice literary resource, I believe) and the first line is:
"Holy canasta! It´s me It´s me. I can´t believe it is actually me ...!

What´s the meaning of "Holy canasta" ? I understand that it must be a colloquial english expression, but I´d like to know what it means-

Thank you in advance

What is the meaning of "Holy Canasta"?

It sounds like the sort of exclamation used in the old Batman TV series, where they would make up expressions with Holy + word/phrase related to the events of the story to express surprise while, presumably, not being blasphemous or offensive. It's not a set expression that I have ever come across.

What kind of word/phrase is used? Can you please site some example?

It could have been anything. "Holy Marshmallows, Batman!" if the bad guys were in a candy factory or "Holy End Tables, Batman!" if they were in a furniture store.

My new favorite is "Holy Canolli!"
