To hate the word “brew”

[DinoHat]

Fancy a brew?

Makes my skin crawl. I can’t put my finger on it but it’s just an awful phrase.

Am I unhinged?

Cuppa, Brew, Sarnie, Butty, Scran, Brekkie - Hate them all.

Why can't we just use language properly?

Why can't people accept that language evolves and regional dialect is a thing?

Who are you to decide what constitutes 'proper language'?

We should celebrate these differences, not judge them.

This.

Bap/Barm instead of a bread roll too.
Pants instead of trousers.

I’ve lived here 2/3 of my life and it still sounds wrong to me!

@HeathIns see a bread roll is wrong to me too. It’s a cob!

I actually quite like ‘cob’ - A cob is a gorgeous crusty bread roll (in my world!)

Or a crusty cob loaf 😋

HeathIns God I want to shove that thing in my mouth.

Bap/Barm instead of a bread roll too.

I'm from Yorkshire so it's a tea cake to me but I now live in north Manchester and it's a muffin!!
I still can't get my head around that!

It’s probably best of you avoid Manchester then

I hate brew too

Is also hate:
Gusset
Stalk (like eyes on stalks)
Cluster

There are more ... I can't think blotted them out of my vocabulary

I forgot about muffin.

@HeathIns a muffin being? A muffin to me is a large cupcake.

Jerk
What do you call a toasted tea cake with fruit then?

Yes, a muffin is a big cupcake! Someone just said a bread roll is a muffin.

It was Jerk ! 😊

Yorkshire Bread roll: Tea cake
Manchester bread roll: Muffin

@HeathIns

Jerk What do you call a toasted tea cake with fruit then?

It's a current tea cake. If I ask for a toasted tea cake I would expect it to be plain. When I first got with DH he asked me to pick up some muffins from the shop - my response was chocolate chip or blueberry 😂😂

Where we live now the chip shop ( chippy as DH would call it) sell chip muffins - they're chip butties to me.

Language is wonderful!

I just say tea... or occasionally char.

Chips are made into chip butties...but crisps become sandwiches.
Muffins can be American cake style, or English bread ones.

Language is wonderful!
It is isn’t it?!

I’d be very upset it I ordered a toasted tea cake and it arrived minus fruit! 😂

Lancashire backstone oven bottom muffins are different to a standard bread roll but muffin does appear to be a catch all term where I live.

Unless I'm in Yorkshire I make sure I specify plain!! I live less than 20 miles from where I grew up yet the use of language is so different!

@TheJerkStore

Lancashire backstone oven bottom muffins are different to a standard bread roll but muffin does appear to be a catch all term where I live.

Where I grew up it was ‘bap’ (soft bread roll) or ‘cob’ (crusty bread roll) Where I live now it is ‘muffin’ or ‘barm’.

I make a brew in the teapot and when it's mashed I have a cuppa. I might have a sausage sarnie or a bacon & egg butty in a breadcake with it on a morning.

Who knew that bread rolls could be so interesting?! 😄
I think I might have derailed the thread!
