A lot of the supposedly clean exclamations are minced oaths, sacrilegious/sexual/scatological swears slightly changed around to make them acceptable in polite company (and easy to quickly change to when you started saying the rude version); i.e. “good golly” = “good God”, “bother” = “bugger”, and so on.
