Lordy Mercy

"LORDY MERCY"

This WAS A SYMPATHETIC TYPE OF EXPRESSION which was used especially in the 1940's & 50's. It meant that the person was so surprised to hear about what you said...possibly something terrible had happened, a death, an awful situation, such as loss of job.
Lordy Mercy, I can't believe that he lost his job, he has been with the company for so many years.
