british english - What is the origin of "oh noodles!"


Noodles are tasty. I like them, but why are they also used as an exclamation of dismay in the following?



Oh Noodles!




Answer



It has no real origin, just something one could say any other day. My friend says "Oh, fish!", and that doesn't have an etymology or an origin either, just an expression that someone might use idiosyncratically.
