    The first one was used to precede some strong assertion and would have translated as something like 'By my Faith..' (meaning, by my Christian religion).


    The second part ('Begorrah') probably originated as follows: being reluctant to say 'By God..' , the common people said something like 'by Gor' , pronouncing it 'Be Gor' , which in time became 'Begorrah'.
