Cor Blimey is the signature catchphrase of Yangus, the axe-wielding ex-bandit companion in Dragon Quest VIII, released for PlayStation 2 in 2004. Voiced with a broad cockney accent, Yangus shouts the phrase throughout the game when surprised or impressed. The line became a fan favorite and spread beyond RPG circles through YouTube compilations, Twitch clips and meme soundboards. Today it lives on as a shorthand reaction for British-flavored shock, keeping the character memorable two decades after his debut.
