Dogs dinner can also be awful....
"The food on the plate just sat there looking like a dogs dinner... Or you could swap out dinner for breakfast.

Thanks! I shall now start describing my character's orgasms as "compelling."

More seriously, though, be careful when using this list. Many of the words on the left have multiple meanings, but the ones on the right correspond to only one such meaning and it might be the wrong one.

 

[pink_silk_glove]

It's not a proper English slang list of the word bollocks isn't on it anywhere.

Hey! That's for readers to decide... was there sufficient foreplay?

That one was utter shite, one step up from Dick Van Dyke's attempt at Cockney

Is "butties" really just any old sandwich? Mustn't it have butter on it?

Is "butties" really just any old sandwich? Mustn't it have butter on it?

No. It's (a butty) usually a fat substantial sandwich as might be eaten by a workman as lunch. It derives from the word 'butt' meaning friend (as something you'd share with your mate). Butt to mean friend is very regional now (mostly Welsh), but crossed the Atlantic and morphed into 'buddy'.

Bread products change names every few miles.

The whole list is so narrowly correct as to be useless.

Mustn't it have butter on it?

no. If it has butter it's a bap. Unless it's in sliced bread in which case it's just a fucking sandwich no matter what they fucking call it.

No! A bap is a round bread item which may be filled and be identical to a butty (a bacon bap, bacon roll and bacon butty will look the same depending on where in the country you are, but they won't always have butter in), and butties or filled rolls/bap/breadcakes/batches/cobs etc are a subset of sandwiches.

If it's in thin sliced bread then yes, it's a sandwich and usually called a sandwich, but a big fat one may be a butty.

Not that the Yanks can talk, with their subs and po'boys and hoagies and all. Not to mention a 'footlong' that's actually only 11 inches. Insert reference there to sexual disappointment...

On the behalf of all malekind, I sincerely hope that no woman would be disappointed with 11 inches.

And you lot think Aussies are weird.

Oh, come on, Russ! At least you’ll have some fair competition for the Weird Cup.

I just screw with everyone and call anything bread-like "delicious om noms" or "hip food"

Got all except hooroo (and that by process of elimination).

Why yes, Neighbours and Home & Away being launched coincided with my teenage years of procrastinating over homework. Can't think about the Russian Revolution without images of Carly and Frank...

I'll never look at porcelain the same way again.
