Funny slang for clothes…

We call Jim Jams for pyjamas and my Son in Law told his daughter that her vest was called a vestibule now she thinks that’s what it’s called.

Up here - we called them sand shoes when we were youngsters.

Just Googled ‘daps’ as I’m not familiar with that name here in the NE.
Apparently it’s thought to derive from the Dunlop Athletic Plimsole - the Factory was in Bristol.

They stretched when wet, didn't they?

So I've been told by a friend whose mum knitted hers.

My swimsuit was always called Bathers too, Hiraeth, and I'm in Devon. Mum knitted me one and it was deeply embarrassing.

Gutties.

My relatives in Wiltshire called plimsolls daps

Knickeroonies!

Gwyllt - my friends also called trousers "kecks". NW area. I didn't though - my family had a clothes shop so I think I tended to use different names for different types!

My 6yo GD now refers to her ‘knickeroonies’. I think that’ll become a family favourite.

There’s also good old bloomers and harvest festivals.
