oh my stars
Quaint surprise exclamation
Oh my stars is a mild exclamation of surprise or astonishment, chiefly American and somewhat old-fashioned.
It belongs to a family of euphemistic oaths that invoke celestial bodies instead of God: Oh my stars, I haven't seen you in ages!
The expression sounds quaint today, often used for gentle emphasis or comic effect.
