blimey

Barrère and Leland's A dictionary of slang
by Arthur Morrison

1 exclamation - god blind me. something surprising enough to make one wish they were blind so that they cant see such things.

2 also used as an extra offensive version of limey. it's extra offensive because british are always so down on americans and our love of slang. basically blimey is a thumb in their eye that they have no ground what-so-ever to stand on to justify their inborn doochbaggetry nature.

1 Blimey! did you see that mole rat lookin brit's teeth?

2 gfys blimey, stay the hell out of our constitution and our right to keep and bear arms or we'll ship over there for a quick coup and your queen's head on a pike along with the whole of your house of lords and yes i know this is a run on sentence so go suck your last fag you goddamn douche bags.

Gor blimey

A minced oath: a contraction of the phrase "God Blind Me". An expression of shocked, unhappy surprise. Used mostly in the UK, even though "God Blimey" was used in 1922 book 'Ulysses'.

Gor Blimey! This music sucks arse!

cor-blimey

Interjection: "May God blind me!" was once a serious oath, not sworn in anything but earnest. It's shortening was partly to avoid offence and partly for brevity. See also gawd blimey.

Part of a song by Lonnie Donegan:
'Oh, my old man's a dustman,
He wears a dustman's hat,
He wears cor-blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat...'
