Nope, crikey is not a "cuss" word .... it's an exclamation of surprise ... much like our other famous and peculiar expression "strewth", or the English saying of "Cor Blimey".
Therein lies the simplicity of life downunder in the GSL .... take the English language, mangle it, and call it your own ... it's a dialect called "strine" ..... which is a truncated version of the word "Australian".
