My grandma actually used to say "Heavens to Murgatroyd" like Snagglepuss. I never knew if she was being ironic or if it was just something old ladies from her generation said.
In a momentary lapse of judgment, I told her how saccharine and phony it sounded to me when old women would get together to fawn over something and say "Awww, isn't that just precious?!" Her face went slack and she replied, "But I say that too."
I felt like an idiot.
