"Holy cow" is used as tamer replacement for "holy Christ!". It is thought to have originated among Baseball players, who did not want to get in trouble for using sacrilegious speech, and may have come from the Hindi idea that the cow was sacred. This theory is supported by the first recorded use of the phrase in a letter to the editor that refers to "holy cow" as a "Hindoo oath".
