Etymology
Perhaps from German bei Gott (“by God”), because, when taking an oath, some men, once they said "by God", aimed at the superior lip with the index finger, symbolising forming the cross with the fingers and kissing it. Compare Portuguese bigode. See: German Nouns '
Gott', Portuguese Nouns '
bigode'.
