What does BLIMY mean in Scrabble?
interjection
informalBritish
An exclamation of surprise, alarm or amazement.
Blimy is an informal British interjection called out when something unexpected happens, similar in force to wow or good grief. It began as a lower-class London exclamation and is now recognised across Britain as a mild, old-fashioned way to express shock. The word is generally treated as a variant spelling used alongside the more common form, and both are used interchangeably in speech. Blimy carries no real offence and is often used for comic effect in writing that imitates working-class London speech.
