British Expressions: Name Edition

Some of my favourite phrases and expressions that I feel more people should know and use. These phrases and expressions all use the names of real people or fictional characters.

1. Gordon Bennett

An exclamation of incredulity equivalent to "Jesus Christ!". A reference to an American James Gordon Bennett Jr., who became infamous in Britain due to his many scandals. Example: "Gordon Bennett, where did you come from?! I didn't hear you come in, are you trying to scare me to death?"

2. Sweet Fanny Adams

Often shorted to Sweet F.A, it is a reference to Fanny Adams, a child who was murdered in 1867. Originally, it meant something of bad quality. Nowadays, it's used interchangeably with "fuck all" (nothing). Example: "That lass knows sweet Fanny Adams!"

3. By Jove

An equivalent to "oh my God". A reference to the Roman god Jupiter (also called Jove; Zeus in Greek mythology). Example: "[Crash] By Jove what was that?!"

4. Scrooge

Named for Ebenezer Scrooge, Charles Dickens' main character in A Christmas Carol, to call someone a Scrooge is to call them a miser, mean or un-festive. Example: "You can be such a Scrooge. Maybe I should start calling you Ebenezer?"

5. Bejesus

Derived from "By Jesus", bejesus is said when someone is surprised. Common in Britain and Ireland. Example: "Bejesus, don't scare me like that!"

"This man Peneleos caught underneath the brow, at the bases of the eye, and pushed the eyeball out, and the spear went clean through the eye-socket and tendon of the neck, so that he went down backward, reaching out both hands, but Peneleos drawing his sharp sword hewed at the neck in the middle, and so dashed downward the head, with helm upon it, while still on the point of the big spear the eyeball stuck. He, lifting it high like the head of a poppy, displayed it to the Trojans." (Homer, Iliad, book 14, lines 493-500)
