Who the heck are they?

"Heavens to Betsy!"

I've just done my daily waffle and this phrase came up.
So who is this Betsy?
And for that matter - who is Gordon Bennett, sweet Fanny Adams, and the perpetually cheerful Larry?!
Is Bob your uncle and do you have a giddy aunt?

I'm hoping MN will have the answers 😂

No idea but just wanted to say I love the waffle game.

I thought Betsy was Betsy Ross who sewed the first American flag.
Knew someone who used the stage name Gordon Bennett but no idea why.

If you go to Alton museum, they have a display on Fanny Adams.

Oh my goodness poor Fanny 😢
That's horrific.
I don't think I'll ever say that phrase again now.
