    To say Cor is to be surprised or amazed e.g Cor, look at that
    Wanker is a term for someone who masterbates but in slang terms it means someone who is maybe an idiot or thinks they're superior or just generally someone you dislike. I wouldn't take offense though because it is often used jokingly among male friends. Bloody is just a curse added for emphasis to anything e.g that film was bloody brilliant.

    So a translation could be
    "Wow, you're such an idiot" or if it's with a freindly tone it would mean the opposite "Wow, you great bloke"

    cor - exlamation

    bloody - used to emphasise

    wanker - one who masturbates



    we say hell in english. bloody hell, for example. typically, where a yank would say damn, brits would use bloody. but language differences aren't as severe as they once were, we use damn as well.

    Cor is an expression of surprise, bloody is equivalent of hell in English and wanker is an English expression loosely meaning the same thing as an American curse word which rhymes nicely with sucker - spelled the same except it begins with an "f".

    A general insult indicative of incompetence or inability. Wanker literally means masturbator, but is generally used for people who do things badly, obstructive officials, and other failbots.
