"Merlin's beard"
"Merlin's beard" is a common wizarding expression used to show surprise. There are several coarser variants, including "Merlin's pants,"[1] "Merlin's most baggy Y-fronts,"[1] (Said by Ronald Weasley) and "Merlin's saggy left —" (Arthur Weasley interrupted Ronald Weasley before he could complete this last expression).[1] This might be more insulting than others because of Molly Weasley's reaction.
