The phrase Golly has fallen out of popularity given its roots in racist caricature “gollywog” which sucks because honestly what a fun to say word that was.
Oh Boy!, Golly!

If it helps, etymonline has them the other way around with ‘golly’ being a mild oath for god and ‘gollywog’ not having a definitive link.

Okay, like, I get the meme, but seeing someone kill a large mouse with a baseball bat remains disturbing. There’s a reason we set traps for these things, you know?

Ah yes, finding a bloody rat screaming and twitching, trapped under the wire, its spine broken… much less disturbing.

There are different types actually. The one a past roommate had for his attic had no real killing use except if you forgot to check it, in which case dehydration or starving would kill. It involved one way entrances, and normal food like peanut butter as bait.
