Cor

/kɔr/ interjection

Definition

British exclamation expressing surprise or admiration

Etymology

Euphemistic alteration of 'God', used to avoid blasphemy

Kelly Says

This distinctly British exclamation is actually a polite way of saying 'God!' - it's one of many euphemisms English speakers created to avoid taking the Lord's name in vain.
