So my grandmother never swore in her life. But she used to say "Heavens to Betsy" when she was grateful or "Good Gravy" when she was angry. Anyone know where these two sayings originated?

    Not a clue, but I saw that you didnt have an answer. I do know that it was al altenative to swearing. My grandma said 'mercy' and 'good lord' a lot.
