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.

PS I did post this before looking at comments :)

PPS Everybody who finds kids' slang fascinating should read "The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren" by Iona and Peter Opie (I may have recommended this before, I often do)

I had no idea what she was talking about.

For Liverpool kids' slang, I would recommend YOU KNOW ME ANTY NELLY? (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0010I12WQ?ie=UTF8&tag=thesmirks-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B0010I12WQ)Image by Frank Shaw, sadly out of print.
