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.
Used alongside crikey in a low, gravelly tone to denote idiocy. Often written blimeeeeey. For the full freak effect, salute and bend down as low as possible. Also used to make angry people even angrier.
Woman who's upset about something:"Move out of the frickin way"
Idiot: "Blimey"
Woman who's upset about something becomes even angrier.
