jiminy

But even in LA, Emandal has developed into a sort of Jiminy Cricket I interplay with daily.

By jiminy, we got to carry our cameras up a cliff and get some goat pictures.

But jiminy, I was sleepy when Carson woke me and I had to stagger out into the dark and the cold.

Theres no good and bad; but by Jiminy, gents, theres a rotten game, and theres a great game.

Jiminy, but it looked good and I wished we were up at Temple Camp, raising our colors near the boat landing.

In later years, the phrase degenerated to the simple "by jiminy," and its meaning had been lost.
