A man goes into a pub in a small town and, for whatever reason, gets introduced to the clientele. There’s Farmer Jack, Barman Jim, Maurice “Dancer” and Sheep shagger John. After a few pints, the visitor’s curiosity gets the better of him and he asks John what’s with the nickname.

“See this pub?” asks John, “I built it, but they don’t call me Pub builder John? I’m the local doctor, I saved Barman Jim’s life once when he choked on a peanut, but they don’t call me Lifesaver John. Every year, I supply a huge Christmas tree for the village green, but the don’t call me Christmas Tree John.

“But you shag one lousy sheep…”

Yes, I use it. It's a fairly mild expletive and originates from 'Christ!', which is more overt. There's another one that to me sounds more effective and that's 'cripes'. Both of course are past their sell date and are probably only used by old codgers like me. It's the sort of expression that was used in comics in the post war period when the hero of a particular comic strip wants to show a cocktail of surprise, amazement, joy and a dash of horror. Nowadays such expressions have been superseded by the ubiquitous 'Wow'. The jaw opens and this cow and dog like noise comes out of the mouth. Oh and by the way a further embellishment to 'crikey' is 'crikey o'reilly!' Who the devil O'reilly was I haven't a clue. They just don't make them like that these days.

The tenement is now named after the Gray's granddaughter, society beauty Lady Stair (Elizabeth, Dowager Countess of Stair; née Elizabeth Dundas), the widow of John Dalrymple, 1st Earl of Stair. She purchased the building in 1719.

я тут глядела справку на грамоте.ру и там достаточно обширное обсуждение, но после слов «так называемый» кавычки не ставятся

в данном случае, это не ограбление, т.к. в доме никого нет, это кража со взломом (ну или без)

Fenton is a dog that was in one of =3's videos on Youtube. He was chasing deer that almost caused an accident and his owner was yelling at him. It was pretty funny actually.

взяла отсюда

насколько знаю, отсюда пошли «летающие блюдца» или «летающие тарелки», во всяком случае, это прижившийся русский перевод

здесь как-то не так переведено, но пока не придумала

это вроде и магазины, и сайты, и комиксы и что только не.
не знаю, что имелось в виду.
