I've looked it up in several online slang dictionaries, but they never have very clear answers. So, could someone please tell me the meanings of these words/phrases?
1.) Cor
2.) Taking the mickey
3.) Coo (Koo? Ku? I don't know how to spell it, or even if it is a real term, or if it is just a variant of "cor")
Just three... I'd appreciate all help!

1) A general exclamation...similar to American "Woah!". Also used as "cor blimey"!
2) To make fun of someone, eg. "Don't take the mickey out of my answers". Often, this is used in the form "taking the mick"
3) Coo is a variant of Cor

Cor = Blimey or Crikey ie: Holy cow Bat Man
Taking the mickey is the same as the more vulgar and common taking the piss ie: taking advantage or making a fool of.
Coo is a Southern variant of Cor
