	Blimey!
tiny_clanger Fish Guru Posts: 2563 Kudos: 571 Votes: 12 Registered: 17-Sep-2002	Random question - does anyone in America say "Blimey" except British people? ------------------------------------------------- I like to think that whoever designed marine life was thinking of it as basically an entertainment medium. That would explain some of the things down there, some of the unearthly biological contraptions

longhairedgit Fish Guru Lord of the Beasts Posts: 2502 Kudos: 1778 Votes: 29 Registered: 21-Aug-2005	Edited by longhairedgit Its an olde english abbreviation of "god blind me!" just a general term back in medieval days for being surprised, along with other stuff like "stone the crows" or "well I'll be". English people seem to want to be beaten to death or struck down by god whenever theyre surprised.Odd tendancy.
