It’s brilliant how the exclamation OH MY GOSH!! has had a second life in recent years after being consigned to the pages of dusty children’s adventures for decades, alongside “fiddlesticks” and “darn”.

The phrase actually dates back to the 18th century — the word gosh has no meaning at all beyond being an altered version of “god”.

Here, though, it was our clue to a pleasing game of Stands searching and for me my first 'spangram first' in months — gosh darn it I’m as jolly as a bumblebee in a buttercup.
