An old English public school exclamation of surprise as exemplified by Frank Richards' Billy Bunter stories. More recently strangely adopted by Australians.

Aussie way of saying "shit" in a sentence. English word morph to Aussie: Shit > Shite > Crike > Crikey

An expression of surprise, current amongst English schoolboys at least as early as the 1930s.

Polite Australian abbreviation for "jesus, seriously, you gotta be fucking SHITTING me."

Australian slang used normally when someones amazed or astonished at something.

Euphemism for the blasphemy 'Christ kill me!'.

Akin to 'Cor blimey!' (God blind me).
