To me it's a type of horse but to most others I suspect it would be a bread roll.

“Got a right cob on.”

But it’s also a bread roll

I think it's bread but only because I've read that on mumsnet. Smile

Busytizzy · 14/12/2019 20:43

A bread roll, or a bad mood - "she's got a right cob on!"

SuperLoudPoppingAction · 14/12/2019 20:43

I grew up saying roll but DP says cob so I now say cob to be understood.

StarlingsInSummer · 14/12/2019 20:44

It’s another word for a bap or barm.
