It's not that it's this!

Following on from Nippy's accents thread.

I asked Leanne the other day if she would like some buns for the trip we were taking.

Buns to me is baked buns - cupcakes.. Buns to Leanne, Katie and other notts folk is hot cross buns or cobs

Breadcakes to me is what folk around here call cobs

Is there anything you say that is something else somewhere else?

A bun is a curranty bread thing as C&D says. What x-clo-x calls a bap is a muffin, baps are boobs! Although to my great grandad muffins were "cut runs" (cut rounds). A sandwich is also known as a butty.

I remember having a huge argument with my ex because he'd phoned me for something one morning and had asked what I was up to. I'd replied I was just having a brew. Well he hit the roof and had a right go at me for drinking at 10am I was having a cup of tea! He then had a go at me for the next 4 years for calling a cup of tea a brew

We call them buns .. Cobs?!? What are they?

I remember first moving down South from North East in with the OH he asked me where I'd put his carkeys , I said on the bench & he looked at me like I was stupid & went off into the garden...came back & said, we dont have a bench...i told him ofcourse we have benches, in the kitchen!! He calls them worktops, I call em benches!

Don`t be daft! Muffins are silly people
And cobs are rather solid-looking horses.
