jeez Louise

Expression of exasperation

Jeez Louise is a mild exclamation of surprise, frustration, or exasperation: Jeez Louise, how long does this take?

The rhyming phrase elaborates on jeez, itself a euphemism for Jesus.

The added name gives it a playful, old-fashioned quality—something a sitcom dad might say when the real thing feels too strong.
