Do you say housecoat or dressing gown?

[FleetingGlance]

Roundabout or island?
Roll or bun or cob or bap?

Dressing gown - although both used in this area and mean the same thing

roundabout

roll (bun is a sweet thing)

That's a pinafore or tabard

Apron or overall

Dressing gown, roundabout, roll.

No, no, no!

A tabard is a length of material with a head hole in the middle, that ties at the sides (like a netball bib but longer). No sleeves.

A pinafore is a dress with no sleeves.

An apron has no sleeves either - and only covers your front.

Overalls I'd think of as the same thing as a boiler suit, basically a long-sleeved jump suit.

Whereas a cleaner's housecoat is coat-shaped... has sleeves and does up at the front.

Dressing gown
Roundabout
Roll (though other names for specific mini bread products eg burger bap)

Housecoat are sort of all over aprons for doing housework in eg as modelled by Nora Batty. Islands are in the middle of roads to enable pedestrians to cross or traffic calming eg in the middle of zebra crossings.

Exh says island and cob, he is obviously wrong

Housecoat

Dressing gown
Roundabout

But - a goonie is a nightgown / nightdress, not a dressing gown / housecoat!

And a poke is a small paper bag with no handles, very different from a carrier bag (plastic, handles).

(I am Scottish too.)

To me housecoats and dressing gowns are different things.
A dressing gown is something you wear when you get out of bed/bath. A housecoat is a thing you wear over your clothes for doing housework (like an apron but full coat sized).

Roll

Roundabout

My nan (the only person I have ever known to wear one) called the nylon thing for doing housework in an overall.

Do you say housecoat or dressing gown? Dressing gown

Roundabout and island are used interchangeably
Roll, cob or bap used interchangeably

If Scousers call dressing gowns housecoats, why do they wear them when going to the Co-op or even at the airport when going on holiday?

Interesting that there was a mention of calling a roundabout a ring road. In most places a ring road is the dual carriageway that has lots of roundabouts and goes around the outskirts of a city.

On the last one, that's a breadcake of course.

Is this all a ploy to deduce our place of birth for identity pilfering purposes?
