'ODSBODIKINS!

I've not a clue what the hell the explication after the definition means but it's interesting enough, no? Actually, now I see and I don't like the succinct nature of the phrasing. It's almost quick speak.

'ODSBODIKINS! 

an oath and an exclamation. "By God's (little) bodies!" This is an oath sworn on the Communion wafers, thus the plural. [British, 1800s]



from Slang and Euphemism by Richard A. Spears
