Is the Louvre open on Bastille Day? How do I confirm if the Louvre is open this year on Bastille Day, July 14, 2015? On the Louvre website, one page lists public holiday closures in 2015 and includes January 1 but not July 14, while another page lists all holidays and shows the museum as open on January 1 but closed on July 14.

This is an American exclamation of surprise. It doesn't mean anything except Oh dear.. The earliest use of the phrase seems to be in the 1890s. Nobody seems to know who Betsy was, either. Nowadays, it would be considered very old-fashioned, and nobody really uses it-you would probably only see it in an old book or play, or in a book or play about the 1800s.
