swiss-list: Swiss expression

I have a question about an expression I heard while in
Switzerland (Zurich) with my wife. Mostly, I guess you
would say it's used in 'vain' or for cursing :-). It
was 'Gottfried Stotts' or something like that? I'm
just curious, is this a person's name and what's the
history behind it? I asked my wife's family (and my
wife) and they didn't know.

Thanks,
Dan
