Hey, I know the difference between dumplings, which you do NOT place on top of a dish (as they'd taste like nothing), and scone-like thingies! It was definitely scone-like thingies. It was definitely cobblers! |

An apple shaped moth, I think Phonetic: "Ape-eth" - Lancashire, and derogatory, turn of phrase meaning clumsy and lumbering male of below average intelligence. Usually employed by wives when husbands are in the way; "Get out of the way, you great daft appoth!". Can be spelt any way you like though. _____________________

I think I'm going to be very happy in Oregon! Do they have small bars with flashing Budweiser signs that sell 7 & 7? Woohooo yes they do, but I can always fix 7&7 for you at home. So strange that Americans don't allow public fornication in their bars. They must have not heard of SL quite yet. |

We have already established that the OP is also American, so your rant makes no sense. Typical uneducated yank redneck (fnar fnar)!  i get slightly more offended when your mom calls me uneducated for not letting her swallow |

An appoth is basically an ha'penny. Ah, not quite. Even the erudite Conan makes mistakes. It's actually daft 'appeth' or even 'apeth'. I should know, I've been called it often enough  EDIT: Egad, Mr bloody erudite beat me too it _____________________

wrong OK so we'll stack this up. American guy who doesn't read thread v English woman originating from the North of England, about an English dish, bearing in mind what a fabulous cook she is. Yeah, my money would be on me even if it were not me. Where did this guy come from? Conan and Sally ... apporth is a Yorkshirism ... or Tyke if you really want to get specific. Half a penny. ***edit*** sees the posting above, and sees the guy has come from the school of troll ... funny that |

I should know, I've been called it often enough Being a colloguialism, there are no rules to it's spelling - as it is purely a verbal construct. However, you are correct that the phonics of the word do led themselves to an "e" rather than an "o". I suppose. Grudgingly. _____________________

Conan and Sally ... apporth is a Yorkshirism ... or Tyke if you really want to get specific. Half a penny. Vera Duckworth called Jack an appeth all the time. Whatever it means in Yorkshire, it still cannot compare to the wonder of the phrase "You great daft apeth". _____________________

You know ..
Americans dont eat a whole lot of lamb.. And when we do its almost always some ethnic dish from Europe or the Mid-East.. So we might not call the "scone like things" on top of a lamb dish anything .. |
