I want to know

I'm commenting years later I know, but I just visited your profile and have been reading your posts and came upon this.

I think that it may have come from the old expression " Holy Mary, mother of Christ!" as a form of an exclamation and later shortened and changed to not offend religious people to, " Holy Moley....". Just my guess😊

Holy Moly ? olde English. A term used to describe somebody dedicated to religious purpose - Oxford English Dictionary.

Moly - Greek Mythology. :a herb said to give those who ate it super-human powers.
First seen in literature form in the old Captain Marvel comics of the 1940's ! Used as a form of aliteration. eg: Good grief/ Rugged rock/ super star etc

Lol great question! I use the expression all the time but I have no idea what it comes from.

Because Robin told the Batman that just before they took down some villains.

They were shot 72 times! 😭

Holly holy eyes
Dream of only me
Where I am, what I am
What I believe in
Holly holy
Holly holy dream
Wanting only you
And she comes
And I run just like the wind will
Holly holy

Because belief in God and heaven is akin to making a mountain out of a mole hill. Okay, I made that up.

I believe she should be "hole-y" (with holes)

Right! Like holy cow.
Just doesn't make sense.
