What's In a Name

English is a widely used language wherever you travel, it's found So isn't it just a little ironic that we English go mess it around. The alley between rows of houses round here is commonly known as a 'gitty' but elsewhere a 'snicket', 'twitchel' or 'wynd' and yet they're all the same, mores the pity. A bread roll's a' bap' or a 'stottie' a 'bun' or a 'nudger' or 'barm' so why can't they call it a 'cob' like we do surely that will not cause any harm. The toilet's a 'Netty' or 'throne room', a 'cludgie' or down here, 'the bog' so to save any further confusion why not just go do it outside like a dog. To learn different words and new cultures they say that you must travel far, but if you live here in the United Kingdom don't panic- just stay right where you are.
