[Foxes157]

As we're doing regional words.

I'm from Leicestershire
It's a bread roll, soft and floury or crusty, either, they're all cobs.
Or you can 'get a right cob on' which means to sulk.

(I've also heard about cob nuts and cob houses)

Grew up in the Midlands now live in the South. It’s a bread roll (bloody used to love a chip cob for lunch at school!), being in a mood “having a right cob on” and a horse

type of roll. type of nut grows wild (cobnut), type of horse, building material for a rough small building or cottage type thing (refered to as cob building but its the materials used)

A horse.

rb thanks for the cottage thing - it was my last thought but I was uncertain - had old thatched cottage in my mind. Yes! Have stayed with cob walls.

Building material (Devon), to make beautiful thick walls which keep the house so lovely and cool in the summer. My dream!

‘Cob’ is a transitive verb. It means ‘throw’. For example, the phrase ‘throw the bread roll to me, my friend’ would translate into East Midlands English as ‘cob t’cob over ‘ere mi duck.’

Horse

It's what weirdo's call a bread bun

A roll, or if your from Nuneaton a batch. Why are we going down this rd again? (yes a cob nut or hoarse can also apply.)

So many people saying horse. I thought it was a male swan?

My mate from Manchester used it to use it when someone was in a mood ie they had a cob on! But I know it is also a name for a bread roll!

Corn as in veggie
Or slang for narky

A bread roll. I'd normally call it a roll or a bap, but I'd understand what you meant if you said cob.

Or maybe you mean a corn cob.

I never knew it was a type of horse, but then I'm not rural or posh so I've never had anything to do with horses.

A horse, a nut, a bread roll and to be in a strop.

Crusty, domed bread roll.

In Nottinghamshire we call a bread roll a cob
