Golly is an exclamation used to express surprise, amazement, or delight. It appeared in American English in the late 19th century as a mild euphemism for "God," allowing people to react strongly without swearing. It became popular in newspapers, literature, and cartoons, especially in the early 20th century, and carries a wholesome, old-fashioned, and inoffensive tone today.
