begorah
Mild Hibernian expletive
Begorah is a mild Irish oath, a euphemism for "by God" associated with stereotypical Irish speech: Begorah, I've never seen the like!
The word appears mainly in literary depictions of Irish characters or in deliberately exaggerated performances of Irishness.
Rarely heard in actual Irish speech today.
