Well I came up with a new phrase today:
Great Riddley Scott: it means something along the same lines as good god, oh my god, jesus christ, and other such experssions of frustration, disbeleif, and annyoence.
When I was out hiking today, I had come to this steep upward part of the trail, and I was making my way up, and each time I got near to the top, I would think ok it is going to start to level out here and head down, but it would simply dip and start right back up again, and then out of nowhere I just blurted out the words: Great Riddley Scott though I am not sure why that had come to pop into my mind.

Hi Silver!
Didn't they used to just say, "Great Scott!" as an exclamation like in Sherlock Holmes for example. I never knew there was a middle name, or the origin at all!!
I just remember that the Scott fertilizer company used to have a commercial with little jingle that went, "Great Scott! What a Lawn!". Funny what sticks, isn't it?
Great Scott
I belive that the phrase Great Scott is acutally refering to the Scottish people, but Riddley Soctt is actually a movie director, and so the two do sound familliar they are not really related.
