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 know what a croggy is (said he belatedly), but I define it slightly differently -- it is specifically giving someone a lift on your handlebars or crossbar. If you let them sit on the saddle, it is instead a backie.

We gave backies when I was a kid in Essex, but croggy I got from an ex-partner from Hull. (And by the way it sounds very precarious compared with a nice comfortable backie.)
