Is this a common phrase, or was it just a quote from Steve Irwin? 220.253.63.130 09:53, 26 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

The Oxford English Dictionary has a quotation dated 1838. It was often used in my memory in the 1950s. SemperBlotto 10:00, 26 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have heard that crikey is an abbreviation (I don't think this is the right word, sorry) for the phrase 'Christ kill me'. Does anyone know anything about this, or it it just a rumor? Babybirdy34 (talk) 09:33, 14 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
