used as a mild expletive, or register of shock, surprise, etc UK, 1840
In 1960 Peter Sellers, in the character of an Indian doctor, recorded a successful comedy duet entitled “Goodness Gracious Me” with Sophia Loren (written by Herbert Kretzmer); the old exclamation soon had catchphrase status. In 1996, four British-Indian comedians adopted the term as the ironic title for a radio comedy series, subsequently a television success. Now this term, the earliest recorded usage of which is by Charles Dickens, is considered by many to be a part of the stereotypical Indian vocabulary.
  • Let’s face it, we all knew what a woman’s breasts looked like, so we didn’t need anything like this to goodness gracious, she really was rather beautiful, wasn’t she? — Christopher Brookmyre, The Sacred Art of Stealing, p. 362, 2002
