Granny Smith – Грэнни Смит, бабуля Смит (популярный сорт яблок) The Granny Smith apple gets its name from its founder, Mrs Mary Ann (Granny) Smith (1799–1870). Granny Smith apples are crisp, juicy, and tart which makes them perfect for either baking in pies, stewed in sauces or eating out of hand. They are also great in salads because once cut, they keep their color longer than other apples. The Granny Smith green apple originated in Australia in 1868. Widely propagated in New Zealand, it was introduced to the United Kingdom in 1935 and the United States in 1972. The advent of the Granny Smith Apple is celebrated annually in Eastwood (Australia) with the Granny Smith Festival. Great Caesar (’s Ghost)! – Боже мой! Видит бог! Вот те на! Вот так-так!

It is rarely used these days: I hopped in and shook off the towel, and great Caesar’s ghost, I almost stepped on Injun Joe’s hand! Great Godfrey! (inf) – выражение удивления или гнева A saying usually used to show surprise or anger: Great Godfrey! The lion is out of his cage.
