geez Louise
Expression of surprise
Geez Louise is a mild exclamation expressing surprise, frustration, or exasperation.
It's a euphemistic expansion of geez, itself a softened form of Jesus used as an oath.
The addition of Louise—chosen purely for rhyme—makes the expression playful and even more innocuous.
Geez Louise, I can't believe you ate the whole thing.
