Word of the Week ... XI

I read this word in a Facebook post and knew I had seen it before (and profoundly like it):

"blimey"

Meaning: It's a colloquial British expression you use when you want to express incredulity. According to an English friend, it basically means the same as "wow" and is hardly ever used nowadays. I say: What a pity, it's such a nice word! Save the word!

Example: Blimey! You really made it!

What are your examples?
