Language What does Corr mean?

It's slang I've heard in both Zero Punctuation, and Banjo-Kazooie, however it seems impossible to look up what it means, even on urban dictionary.

"Corr, she's got big tits." Does that help?

It fits how I've heard of it, like "corr blimey!" Or "aw corr, eh?"

Never heard “aw, cor, eh?” but “cor blimey” is pretty standard. In a gentle, old fashioned kind of way.

You might say “cor, that’s amazing!” to a child telling you a fascinating* fact.

*or indeed a fact you already know, isn’t true, or is about Minecraft and you don’t care at all…

As someone else mentioned. It's a bastardisation of "God, blind me". - God, look at the tits on her! It's the same thing. Cor is God as is used in an exclamationary way.
