a mild exclamation expressing surprise, shock, or emphasis; British regional variant of 'gore' or 'God'.
Dialectal British English, likely a minced oath (softened version) of 'God.' Minced oaths were common ways to avoid blasphemy in religious societies.
Minced oaths are hilarious linguistic time machines—'gosh,' 'darn,' and 'gor' were all people's desperate attempts to say something stronger without offending God. Modern people just... say the real word.
