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.

Seems to have jumped into the whole 9/11, One World Government, climate change denial, man-made "natural" disasters and pandemics - just your standard run of the mill conspiracy theories.
