[Closed] Lost vocabulary.

I shall resurrect "pantry" forthwith. That's far catchier than "the cupboard under the stairs."

I've got my scullery maid locked in mine

I'm always inviting people back to my boudoir.

I am building a pantry/larder I shall keep bikes in it
Cheers Binners thank god you dont let him have internet access

Any other words from the recent past we've lost?

Junkyard - that's a 'shed'

Pantry = tick
My wife's resurrecting mizzle, that damp weather between mist and drizzle, whilst I promote the Sussex dialect word twitten for a little cut through pathway or alleyway.

😆

airgonaut n 1784 -1784
one who journeys through the air

I suspect everyone who frequents this site has been a lesser airgonaut at some point

twitten for a little cut through pathway or alleyway

It was a 'snicket' up my way...can't say I hear it much these days though.

Are you married to Snoop Dogg?

A pathway or alley way round me is a 'ginnel' I'm not sure thats even how you spell it????

My wife asked me to buy her a 'dibber' so she could puddle her leeks. I think she may have been making it all up
Maybe

Like the Eskimos and their supposedly extensive vocabulary for snow, we have words for rain that escape other nationalities. Makes me proud to be British.

Same here and yes, I think that's correct spelling; it's a narrow alleyway.

We have a pantry. We also have many twittens.

Are they baby ... hold on.

My wife asked me to buy her a 'dibber' so she could puddle her leeks

aye, a seed dibber 🙂 Think I have one rusting in the shed somewhere. I've always liked 'methinks'.

Yep, same here. I still use it.

I was thinking about something similar this morning. As a kid we had a couple of specific names for local parks where we played football, rode our bikes and stalked girls. One was the called the Gruffy and the other the Dobbins. I reckon no-one knows them by those names anymore 🙁

We have twitten maps in Brighton.

Very useful for cyclists who don't mind a bit of cheeky urban riding, ime.

I now use "pantry" as the name for the special room where I keep my underwear. It's next door to the vestry.........

*insert country joke here*

Yeah we have a proper pantry (i.e. walk-in cupboard under the stairs, accessible from the kitchen, that contains all our food, our freezer, mops, brushes, and ye olde Dysonian.

Any other words from the recent past we've lost?

Please; thank you; excuse me.

lost insults are always a good one, the kind of thing your dad said when you were a nipper

twit
plonker
nincompoop
etc

*insert country joke here*

Very good (-:

I made a dibber in woodwork at school - was called a dibbler though, I'm sure

was called a dibbler though

😥
were you one of the kids who used to surround me in the playground ?

I'll slay you with my sharpened [b]DIBBLER[/b] !!

Berk

As is "No, Derek, you [b]berk[/b], I told you to get a dibber!"

Especially given how rude it really is... 😉

Sorry
A local word for woodlice used to be chuckypig. I love that word.

Anne Summers do those. Probably.

My wife asked me to buy her a 'dibber' so she could puddle her leeks

Really? How you gonna change the channels after you've used it for that?

I probably shouldn't say this but I reckon larder could be reused to describe a person of the fuller figure ...................

Ricketts, Cholera...........

A snicket to me is slightly different to a gennel or twitchell or jitty.

More of a cut through than an alleyway

We'd call it a "drangway" in Devon...

And just before twilight (there's one as well), it starts to get a bit "dimpsy..."

I use 'dimpsy'

Also 'smeech' for acrid smoke say from a bonfire or maybe smog while sat in traffic.
'I cant see through all this smeech'

Cheez, you're from Deb'n right?
