The Queen's English was good enough for Jesus Christ, so it's good enough for me

We haven't had one of these in a while... yup, it's a word I use that no one else knows.

If I suggested you get someone to give you a croggy, would you know what I meant? I just used this phrase in the office (for context, to my boss who's currently having transport issues as his car's in dock). He looked at me funny.

He does that a lot anyway, but I think it was the word "croggy" in this instance.

I looked it up and was properly and suitably impressed.

No, I had no flaming idea what a croggy was.

Dammit, you're from the same town, I was relying on you!

From the same town, but being brought up by people filling my head with Scottish slang instead (seriously, there were times throughout my childhood when it would twig that certain words and phrases were not part of the Queen's English).

I also was the type of cowardy custard who would never have croggied without full safety gear!
