Odds Bodkins
Odds bodkins is an archaic English minced oath from the Middle Ages and later that is used as an exclamation of surprise. Odds bodkins is generally considered to probably be a euphemism for "God's body" (or possibly "God's dear body"), although "God's dagger" or "God's rucifixionnails" has also been suggested as a possible source, as "bodkin" was current in the Middle Ages as a term for many small sharp implements: bodkin point, a narrow armor-piercing arrowhead; bodkin needle; dagger, stilleto or "nail dagger"; an awl-like leather-punching device; and a slim pointed multiple-use women's accessory (although this use may have come later).
