I suppose 'fuck me!' is a particularly British thing when used to mean 'my lord!', 'crikey!', 'crumbs!' etc as opposed to it's more literal use.

I would also like to advocate the use of the term 'Judas Priest!' in this regard.

True I suppose. I was just trying to point out the difference between that

person.

Is this related to rare sightings of the Barking Toad? "It isn't called the Barking Toad because it lives in Barking, it's called the Barking Toad because it goes 'woof'." (Derek and Clive reference)

Owt or nowt.

Means: anything or nothing.

Example:

"What are you doing for Christmas? Owt or nowt?"
"Nowt. Christmas is fucking shit."

"Stick a broom up my arse and I'll sweep the floor while I'm doing it"

as in the reply to:

"As you're up, would you make us a cup of tea?" etc

"fry-up"

One more: "yob".
