Edgeways or edgewise

[bluesoup1]

Help me settle a debate.

Do you say "can't get a word in edgeways" or "can't get a word in edgewise"

From Oxford English dictionary: edgeways (US edgewise) with the edge uppermost or towards the viewer. Phrases: get a word in edgeways

[quote Alexindiamondarmour]@WorryWartOne “edgewise” definitely isn’t the way it’s said here in Australia.

The word is definitely edgeways and it’s used pretty often enough - I’m a talker so often used to get told when I was younger to stop chatting because my friends couldn’t get a word in edgeways!![/quote]
I only assumed it was common parlance in Oz as the OP said it was used by multiple Australians in her company.
