Pack lunch.

[Jannilindlands]

I want to scream when I see or hear "pack lunch"!

Maybe, but the correct term is packed lunch.

Says who?

The Oxford English Dictionary.

Yes but regional variations of phrases and words are perfectly acceptable.
I mean if the packed lunch contains a bread roll....we'll be here all night with the regional variations of it's name 😂😂

Ooh yes I do wonder if it's an American thing. In New Zealand, in the supermarket, it is labelled sour cream, not soured cream. This must be an American thing? I was intrigued when I moved to the UK to see it's soured cream. However, it's still packed lunch, mashed potato etc in NZ so I don't know why it's sour cream!

I’ll be honest, OP, I was feeling irritated when I glanced at the thread title, before I realised where you had posted!

Likely the same people who overuse ‘myself’.

Mix grill.

Hot crossed bun??

In parts of Yorkshire those food vans/trailers that sell bacon rolls etc are known as snap wagons. They set up near factories to get trade from people arriving for or leaving a shift. Nothing to do with taking your own food (which is a pack up or packed lunch) I know.

I know an excellent little cafe. I noticed that they offer cornbeef baps.

I have just read elsewhere that someone is suffering from trap wind. I thought it was a mistake but she wrote it three times.

I’ve just bought some bedding and on the packaging it states “XYZ ( name of brand) stripe double duvet set”
Where’s the D?

I don't understand that.
What "D" ?

I have heard this in Derbyshire.

Striped as opposed to stripe? It wouldn't bother me.

@CaptainMyCaptain oh right..... I hadn't even noticed that 😂😂

My parents called it "carrying out".
They were Liverpudlian, part Irish. Anyone else's old relatives call it that?

Yes, in Derbyshire too. It isn't only used to mean packed lunch it can be any light or snack type meal. There's a sandwich shop near me that sells 'reyt good snap' according to their sign.

I live in one county and work in another where I live it is bait/bate (never seen it written down). Where I work it is snap. Work sites will have snap/bate rooms.

Nope it is regional and it refers to your pack as in your backpack.

Mash potato annoys me. It’s mash but mashed potatoes.

Pa-k-t-lunch vs. packlunch

Also dro-p-t-kerb Vs dropkerb

Easier to say, innit 🙂

As in shouldn’t it be “striped” rather than stripe?

@CaptainMyCaptain it doesn’t “bother” me in the grand scheme of things, but I thought this thread was for punctuation/language pedants noticing the absence of “D’s or EDs” in certain words eg mash potato/pack lunch as opposed to mashED
The adjective is striped not stripe
