  1. Won't cheat by explaining these. Be interesting to see what some of your visitors think of them.

  2. If you're speaking of digestive cookies...I LOVE 'em~

    My ex-mother-in-law used to get them all of the time (she's from England) and they were GREAT!

    I also miss Battenburg. I don't think I spelled that right...oh well.

    I went on a little hike today myself...post/pic is up

  7. a pair of knickers is underwear and a duvet is a type of bed cover.

    In my neck of the woods daddy long legs is a type of spider....as far as the others go I haven't a clue.

    Maybe I should do one of these for Southernspeak....:)

    ReplyDelete

  13. Oh my gosh...when I was a kid I used to watch teh daddy long legs crawl all around. Neat list!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'll just consider this one a learning experience since everyone has guessed the 80% I know and I haven't a clue about the others.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I married a Limey, so it would be unfair of me to give them all away!
    But #3 (kip) is giving everyone a hard time. It's SLEEP, is it not? My Granny-in-law has a kip every afternoon.

    ReplyDelete
  18. While I 'think' I know a few of them, I'm not even going to hazard a guess - I know how tricky you are :-)

    ReplyDelete
  19. OK, mine's finally up - 12:58am my time... it's inspired by you in a way... but isn't it always? :-) Here I am, thinking about all the extra 'beaver' traffic you're going to get!

    13 search engine queries that'll reach The Buzz Queen!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Mine's up too. I got quite a few of these, mainly 'cause my former mother-in-law is a Yorkshire woman and a teacher... But the gyp and the wazzack stumped me!

    ReplyDelete
  21. And yes - it was you!!!! Honestly.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Lol at Erika's no6. :-D

    You are going to get a few strange looks if you're in the UK when Aunt Flo calls and you ask for a cardie....

    Claire, you are beyond all saving :-)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Lol, more naughty Brit phrases! Happy TT!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I think I know some of them, I am wondering, maybe daddy long legs is something else besides a spider?
    I loooove digestives!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I know a couple of them, but What a wazzack, has me befuddled.

    ReplyDelete
  26. 1) Spider
    2) Underwear
    3) Food?
    I've no idea about the rest.

    ReplyDelete
  27. since us Yanks call a daddy long legs a 'daddy long legs' I'm guessing that over the pond it's actually a crane fly.
    But I'm pretty sure a cardie is a sweater and NOT a tampon!!!

    And I can't wait to see what a wazzack is...

    ReplyDelete
  28. Ahhh! This is a kewel application! I must HAVE! NOW!

    ReplyDelete
  29. OH! BTW, thanks for stopping by my place.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I just checked your sitemeter (just click referrals and you can see what brought them) - you have a couple funny google searches today:

    1. "listen fish and chips and vinegar" (you are on pg#1)

    2. "blog therapy gestalt 'blogspot'"

    How the heck do you listen to fish and chips????

    :-)

    ReplyDelete
  31. But then again - you probably already knew that and were just asking to see if I would take the time and explain it all to you, right? ~snort~

    See? SEE?? SEE HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU?

    hehe

  35. Claire, First, you know I'm pretty good about leaving comments, but recently I have found myself running down to the site meter just to make sure. You know, if Blogger crashed before I got to publish a comment, anyway.....
    ah, digestives, we pick those up over at Camp Souter all the time. That and my chocolate milk, whole cream. mmmm mmmm good.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I know digestives and knickers and one of the more expressive ones... but most, I'm at a loss.

    I need to memorize your lists before we visit relatives over there so they can laugh at an American accent speaking their language. Great list.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Some of these I'm totally guessing at, but some I've picked up from reading books set across the pond. :)

    Daddy Long legs.--they're spiders here

    Knickers.--panties

    I need some kip.--money?
    Knob--head?
    Hey have you cacked yourself?--gone crazy?
    Anybody got a cardie i can borrow?--pen?
    That's a load of cobblers.--something is ridiculous
    Pass me the digestives.--some kind of cracker or cookie, I think.
    I don't do duvets.--duvets are big fluffy comforters here
    You dirty gobshite.--a potty mouth?
    Don't give me any gyp.--don't be a smart aleck?
    I didn't do owt.--didn't do anything?
    What a wazzack.--crazy person?

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  46. I wouldn't have known any of them
    Very interesting.
    My T13 is up.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Chris chris chris! it doesn't pay to be a smart wazzack.

    You say wazzock, I say wazzack!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Yup...battenburg cake. They were YUMMY! When my ex's uncle would come visit he'd fill his suitcase with tea for my ex-mom and battenburg for me and Matt. LOL. Oh, and Smarties for Matt too.

    They used to sell the Battenburg in my international section at the store, but they don't anymore.

    I suppose I could make it. But it wouldn't be the same.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Those are funny, and I would never have figured most of them out!
    I played too :-)

    ReplyDelete
  50. Haven't a clue is it a game? I suck.

    ReplyDelete
  51. My education in proper English continues!

    ReplyDelete
  52. I guess I'm rather late for guessing because seeing all the other comments, I could easily cheat! :-)

    Happy TT!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Man, I'm too late to guess today. Darn it. Gotta stop playing with my kid and tend to business, huh?

    Happy TT, my blog friend!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Wasn't Daddy Long Legs the name of a movie/book? It's an interesting list. I can't wait to see the right answers.

    Happy TT.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I only lurked on this one but it was hilariously funny to read people's guesses!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Hi Claire, just popped back in to see how I did. If I'm going to chat with you daily I just have to know what these words mean. It was fun. Perhaps I'll do a TT in the near future. Toodle Pip my friend...

    ReplyDelete
  57. Hi Claire

    The only one that confused me was wazzack. Must be a northern saying. Down in the south, where I originate, the call the person a prat, which is still meant to be friendly,

    the Brit

    ReplyDelete
  58. There seems to be some folks confused, all the answers are up now!
    Feel free to leave a comment if you are still confused.

    Hey comedy i hope you are enjoying your english lessons, i might test you!

    Hey linda, i love the guesses!

    Hey Brit, i dont use the word wazzack much but i did know what it means. I use Prat a lot!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Jenny mcb sent us over to look. Great list you have! What YOU call "Daddy Longlegs" we call a "Golly Whopper." Daddy Long Legs is a mite that looks like a spider.
    What you show as "knickers" wouldn't be shown where I come from! Sleep is "shuteye," Ahem...on the knob. I'm going to borrow the "cack," the "gobshite," and the "wazzack." I will admit that it will sound silly rolling off of my Texan tongue. I can do nought about that. I'm off to read more of your posts! So glad Jen mentioned you!
