Holy cannoli

intj

Definitions

Intj
  1. 1
    Synonym of holy cow.

    "You're at some dusty museum with a headache and fallen arches when you see this thing on the wall. "Holy cannoli!" you exclaim with righteous indignation, "My kid coulda done that!""

Etymology

Likely modeled on the earlier phrases holy macaroni, holy stromboli, and holy ravioli. Given that, a direct connection to the phonetically similar holy kamoly, which is recorded since 1957, is unlikely.
