I thinks it's more odsbodkins or something similar (don't have time to research it) but it's what the first Pilgrim probably said when he stepped off the Mayflower and stubbed his toe on the rock) "ODSBODIKINS" The first curse expression spouted in America. *it's something naughty translated to "by the blood of God" or something equally sinful*
lbaker, I guess that pilgrim had to put a shilling in the cursing jug!
