Gadzooks and “Zounds” being from the same expression, ‘God’s wounds’; in that a perfect infinite being wouldn’t get injured. So something unbelievable, something impossible.

Which was disappointing to me as reading it in comic books, I always heard it my head as “zounds” rhyming with “sounds”, but it tain’t so.

Gadzooks is supposedly “gods hooks” (nails from the crucifixion) rather than the wounds.
