Crikey - (polite) surprise

It's interesting how some words/slang just wouldn't be right when said without the proper accent. If I heard something like "crickey" out of the mouth of one my neighbors, I would think I'd misheard what he was really trying to say.

I'd love to know more Brit speak, slang. (Or any region's slang, for that matter). I'm pretty new to the AWAD, so if it's come up before, I haven't come across it. Maybe something for a new thread? Or private mail me if you've got a list... I'd enjoy it.
