"Heavens to Murgatroyd" -> nghĩa là câu bày tỏ cảm xúc bất ngờ, bàng hoàng.

Ví dụ
Not to be mistaken for the Pink Panther, Snagglepuss is a fancy cougar (con báo) who can be recognized by his collar, bowtie, and cuffs. Snagglepuss appreciates classic literature, and one of his catchphrases (khẩu hiệu) is "Heavens to Murgatroyd!" 

We’re eight-deep in the queue (xếp hàng) here at Frankie’s Tortas and Tacos, a stationary Mexican food truck servicing the outlet adventure stores of Smith Street’s arse end. “Heavens to Murgatroyd!” we exclaim, in unison (nhất trí), in our heads, in two-part harmony. “Why, it’s only a Tuesday! It’s but 12.30pm on a Tuesday, and we’re stood in a great sodding queue! Imagine!”

The language in the book can be highly stylised (phong cách hóa). Having been written in the Thirties, there are a lot of ejaculations (thốt lên) – "What!”, “Indeed!”, “Heavens to murgatroyd!” and so on. 

Heavens to Murgatroyd, that’s a high number against the Hawkeyes in Kinnick Stadium. Iowa hasn’t lost by that much at home in four years. Of course, Ohio State hasn’t played at Kinnick in seven years.
