What do you call wood lice?

[toots111]

There was an article in The Times today talking about the different regional names for wood lice. It said that they call them Cheesy bugs in Surrey. Now I always thought that was a very North Kent name for them and it totally threw me that other places call them that. So What do you call them and where are you from?

Woodlice. London

I'm in Surrey , never heard it , had no idea anyone called them anything other than wood lice

Wood louse - London

Cheesy Bugs - Surrey

Fucking wee arseholes. I’ve just reached into the pack for a new toilet roll and there was one on it just where you pull it

Chiggybugs. Not sure where that came from, I've moved around too much to pinpoint it.

Ear wigs (Lancashire)

Grammarsow - Cornwall

Slaters (grew up east coast of Scotland)

Earwigs are a different insect

Wood lice. I suppose if I had them I could call them by name individually, eg Gerald and Carol.

Cheeselogs though??! 🤣🤣🤣

Grammasells. Cornwall. Not sure how to spell it, but that is how you say it!

Peabug, they're bugs that roll up like peas, nothing else makes sense clearly.
