There's a movie called Two Rode Together, western, 1961.

There's a dialog between two, marshal and a cowboy, they're talking about how much money each of them makes, and when cowboy says he makes a lot, much more money, which was unbeknown to marshal, he says...

- Don't tell me you didn't know.
- No, I didn't know about that.
- Well, I get 10 percent of everything in Tascosa.
- Holy crimanetta.

So I've been lurking a meaning of this word crimanetta, founding nothing. I understand he meant something close to "holy cow", but I'd like to know an exact meaning of this word.

Here's a YouTube link to a scene in a film where he says it.
Thank you.

It's like "Holy Criminy" or "Holy Cow" -- just an expression, a euphemism someone invented to use instead of a swear word.
