Yeah, if you're gonna work polytheism into your idioms like that, it should just be "by the gods" or something. >_>

I think in general a lot of inserted idioms like these make my eyes roll instead of helping me buy the setting.

Really? I feel like I've seen "by the ______" so many times my mind doesn't even register it anymore.

"my gods" sounds especially bad because "oh my ______" almost never ends in a plural. And I almost never see polytheistic religions in media refer to pantheons with ownership. <_<

How many series actually use "Oh my gods"? From what I recall most series actually name a god.

The worst is in Sabrina how they say things like "for hell's sake" or "Why don't you go to heaven!" or "What the heaven??"
