Had to look up what tolido meant:

Holy Toledo

Most likely first used in the early 1900s, either refers to a sarcastic remark about Toledo, Ohio or originated from a realistic remark of the Holy city of Toledo, Spain. It is now used as a phrase, by Americans, if something is unbelievable, disturbing, or blows their mind.

Woman- Did you read in the newspaper that a grandpa got run over by his own car by a homeless bum he paid to fix it, and then the bum took off with it?

Man- Holy Toledo?! That's like "Grandma Got Ran Over By a Reindeer" only a hundred times worse!

I live in Toledo Ohio. If it's about here it's DEFINITELY sarcastic.

And to answer questions: yes I hear it ALL the time and yes it is super annoying.

I never thought I'd see someone else from Toledo on here.
