Chip cob unless it's on sliced bread then it's a butty. Even my local chippy in my youth used to call them chip cobs on the price board. 

 

Calling cobs a roll is just daft IMO. Must be a southern or middle class thing. 

Yes it was a southern MC Thing...

When I Started to Go around the southern counties.

I found myself trying to educated them, unsuccessfully,thick snobs, stay snobs.

A Roll,is so call because It is rolled ,a cob is dough Former AS a....cob.

 

In Small or larger Forms,in York-Lancshire areas,a cob,is a loaf with a large round formed Base

With a Small round Form on top.  because a cob in old English,was a smaller mound/Hill ,

on a large Hill,or Peak.

In parts of the midlands, it was known as a double cob,because the Interpretation was a cob

was actually  a near perfect round Hill or mound.

 

Another old use, of that loaf was the interpretation because of the 

Firmround muscles of the Large anglo-norman horse known as a cob....

In my world baps are soft, cobs are crusty and rolls are something that you put sausages in.

Barbeques are one of the most overrated things ever.

 

Usually full of pseudo alpha males wrongly thinking they can magically cook decent meat because the cooking is being done outside and not in a kitchen.

“Thick snobs stay snobs”??

It was a piss take post  as it’s a well known fact people from different parts of the country call some items by other names.

like your History though.

A cob for me is a male swan at Welney Wash and if I was snobby enough I could eat that!

My Bad ,It should of read,stay thick..but hey ho.

And noway can a Roll be called a cob..think of cobbles ,cobbledstreet. Origins dont

because some words we're felt to be too corse.and not  gentil.

I studied anthropology and Peoples Origin of language and evolvement.

Street and education ,cultural Variations....The twists ,Tangents and variables were interesting.

My nan always says Docky instead of lunch.This used to go back to the olden days of farming in the Fens( maybe elsewhere too)

where you had a flask of broth that you could eat/drink while working,because if you stopped you were docked wages.

In my experience in Leicestershire dinner, supper and tea are all interchangeable - we don't tend to stick to one. Since moving to Sheffield I found that jitty and chewy (as in chewing gum) are part of the Midlands lexicon.

Supper is a meal/snack after teatime surely?

I think it's a class thing; It goes

 

breakfast, dinner, tea (working class)

breakfast, lunch, dinner (middle class)

I think there's an agreement on supper being a late evening (usually light) snack.

 

That said, I'm sure there are regional differences.

[Carl the Llama]

Supper, dinner and tea have always been interchangeable terms for the main evening meal for this here southern ponce.  Never seen dinner used for lunch, as far as I'm concerned lunch is called lunch and nothing else, likewise breakfast. Thinking about it it's a bit weird that dinner's the only one with alternative terms but that's just how it goes.

 

Brunch can get in the bin though, just call it breakfast if it's your first meal of the day, having it a bit later in the day changes nothing.

[Sambiasso]

Tea 3-5pm
Dinner 5pm onwards

Except on a Sunday when Dinner is between 12-5pm and tea is 5pm onwards.

Now you're just fvcking with us.

Breakfast is breakfast, lunch is lunch, everything else is just a synonym for your evening meal and a pointless argument. 

 

Oh and if it's bread and not loaf shaped, it's a cob. Crusty? Cob. Soft? Still a cob.

 

Baps is just a funny word for chebs and should be used in no other context.

Have you never heard working class kids speak of their 'dinner money'? Have you never heard school meals referenced as 'school dinners'?

Only if its around or above 20 degrees and the people in charge of the food actually know what they are doing.

 

Sadly at the majority of bbqs burgers and sausages are burnt on the outside and raw on the inside and involve t shirt drinking outside in 10 degree conditions.

The confusing bit for me is that my kids can either have a school dinner - or take a packed lunch

Of course I've heard it. I don't live under a rock. 

 

It's still wrong. You have dinner after 5pm and no sooner. 

 

School "dinner" is a misnomer. It's lunch. 

 

 

Edit: and class has nothing to do with using the wrong vocabulary. 

 

 

Edit edit: class has something to do with it. If you say "supper" you were either born in 1812 or you're a posh cvnt.
