    blimey expl. A nice mild expletive, blimey is (in terms of rudeness) on a par with "wow" or "my goodness". It was originally part of the phrase "cor blimey", which was apparently a contraction of "god blind me" which was in turn an abbreviated version of "may god blind me if it is not so".

    I reckon this might be the place to ask a question...

    some 15 years ago I worked with a brit and it was all bloody this and bloody that...and every guy was a bloke. Now then, since I tend to mimic those I'm around, the phrase "bloody bloke" came about and sounded quite british to me but I was continually told that it was NOT proper and didn't mean a bloody thing. "You cahn't say bloody bloke! Blimey, it don't mean a bloody thing, bloke."

    So what's up with "bloody bloke"?

    The one British word that has found it's way into my vocabulary is: daft. And, believe me, when these Arkies hear me use it, they look at me like I'm daft.

    (I hope I used it right. Otherwise I haven't been using it properly at all!)
