Crikey! is used to avoid a blasphemy. It's the avoidance of saying Christ! Much like Americans say "shoot" when they mean something else.

For instance, WTH does "Brill" mean? Is it short for "Brillo" a steel wool scouring pad.
How about "cuppa" cuppa what?
Or "Crickie" a "skin" of beer, surely you dont drink beer from the hide of an animal? What exactly are "nickers" and when you go to a "pub" and order a "pint" does it come in a measuring cup?
Any American words baffle you "blokes"?
