micaelo is on a distinguished road
Default Argor

Hi, I've just finished reading "Bridget Jones's Diary" and there's a word she keeps using when she's supposed to be drunk which completely mystifies me:
"Argor sworeal brilleve with Shazzan Jude."
What does she mean by "Argor"?
Thanks

Could it be the interjection Arg?

From http://www.slangsite.com/slang/A.html

Arg Used to describe discontent. Especially if you just realized you seriously screwed something up. Usually used at the begining of a sentence, but can be used at the end again to make sure your discontent is clear or for more effect.

Ex: Arg! I spent three hours doing this essay question and I did the wrong one. Arg!

Default Re: Argor

I'm reading Bridget Jones' Diary now, but I don't think that has anything to do with the expression "Argh". Since she's absolutely drunk for having gone out with Shazz and Jude ("Shazzan Jude") I think it could be translated as:
"Argor sworeal brilleve with Shazzan Jude."
"I got surreal relief with Shazz and Jude" ... though I'm not sure.

First I thought I could have been "I'll go", but she's referring to the past (they met at 8.30 p.m., and this entry is at 2 a.m.), so.. I don't know, but I firmly believe it has nothing to do with "Argh".
Hope to help.. and be helped, tee hee.
If any native reads this, it could be of GREAT help.
Bye!
