[edit] Oh dear

del nonnotable expression, with verifiability problems. What is salvageable (and verifiable), may be moved into Victor Hargreaves (if one existed indeed). mikka (t) 19:34, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

• The term is used when people see something out of the ordinary or strange. I personally see it used when events don't quite go to the speaker's advantage. "I'm afraid you've broken your leg." "Oh dear." I don't live in the North West of England, but I do live near it, and I have not heard it used for that purpose. This borders on dic-def anyway, so delete.
