Mother of pearl!
4 Answers
Has anyone else heard of saying"mother of pearl!" when they see something surprising or they are shocked?
I say it a lot and my husband says it's not a saying and it's ridiculous but I heard Homer say it on the simpsons the other day and it was in Blazing Saddles as well - but I don't think these really support my "mot ridiculous" theory - any back up out there?
Thanks
