What does BLIMEY mean in Scrabble?
interjection
Britishinformal
An exclamation of surprise, shock or admiration.
Blimey is a very British cry, heard when something astonishes the speaker, from a huge price tag to an unexpected visitor. It began as a shortened and softened form of an old oath, which is why it sounds so casual and good-humored today. Comedies and cartoons set in London love the word, so it has become a kind of verbal shorthand for a cheerful working-class voice.
