Today's expression is, once again, a British expression which was brought to me by my dear colleague Richard I. Prescott. He told me it's used in pretty much the same way as "blimey", that is, said when surprised, shocked or angry.
"Gordon Bennet"
Meaning: same as "blimey"; said when surprised, shocked or angry
Example: Gordon Bennet, I have a fucking job!
