What exactly is meant by the phrase “I’ll be a blue nosed gopher?” This expression runs in my family though no one seems to know the origin. Can any of the teeming millions clarify this?
I first heard it on the movie “Beavis and Butthead do America”
One of the many one liners uttered by the head FBI agent played by that Unsolved Mysteries guy.
I dont think it has any real meaning. Just meant to be silly.
Back in the 50’s Disney put on the Micky Mouse Club. They had a serial involving a dude ranch where teenage boys and girls do their 50’s things. The crusty old side-kick used the phrase “I’ll be a blue nosed gopher” on occasion.
I think the serial was called Spin and Marty. That’s the earliest I’ve heard the phrase.
