It's Cockney for "Go on", basically meaning the same as "You're pulling my leg", i.e. "I don't believe you."
Meaning of "garn" in My Fair Lady?
At the beginning of the My Fair Lady movie, there is a monologue of prof. Higgins like this:
Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse
Hear a Cornishman converse
I'd rather hear a choir singing flat
Chickens cackling in a barn
Just like this one
Garn!
My question is: what is the meaning of this "Garn"?
