Did I already do a list of phrases I'd like to bring back?

If yes, I would like to add to it "Mercy" - as in this tweet from Rachel Maddow: How have I lived this long without ever eating a roasted po' boy before? Mercy.

If not, the other ones on my theoretical list are
  • My eye (my grandmother used to say this - as "in honest politicians, my eye!")
  • My stars (or my stars and garters)
  • Golly Moses (Grace Kelly pulls this off in High Society)
  • Tight (for inebriated)
  • Doll (so much better than chick, though I don't know why)
I definitely watch too many old movies.

I want to add Holy Cow, which Tom Brady said during the game today, and was thus far the only endearing thing I have ever heard him say...
