Might have been mentioned before, so apologies if it has, but who was Harry Moyle?

Used as an expression of suprise.

As in 'Harry Moyle! Where did that come from?'

Both my parents say/said it, and my grandparents.

Please tell me it's not just used in my family, as they have no idea who he was, or why his name is so shocking.

There seems to be only two noteworthy Harry Moyles, one was in the R.A.F., and wrote a few books, the other was an American, Harry Moyle Tippet, who seems to have left a lot of religious quotes.

Guess if no one else has even heard of him, I'll never know why his name was used.
