Can I just be brutally honest here and admit it never even crossed my mind that it might have been "stalk". Minter. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of the description "chipper" used in anything except a means of disposing of surplus branches. "Chippie" for me. Definitely ‘Chippie’ in Inverness, and surrounding towns in my experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually "shree". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Chippy is what weegies get when you try to educate them on pronunciation) Thanks for confirming it's a tiny minority To me, chipper and chippy are not the same. You buy a chippy from the chipper, although admittedly that one is definitely regional and confined to parts of the east coast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Door closers. People have them throughout their flats. It feels like you are being pushed out the room as the door closes behind you. When you are going from room to room. Piss off! Stop pushing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 It's definitely 'stick' of rock, not 'stalk'. Never heard anyone say 'stalk' before seeing it on here. Anyway, why do Americans say "tuna fish"* instead of just "tuna"? Do they say "strawberry fruit"? "Cow mammal"? "Owl bird"? "Carrot root vegetable"?! *More like 'toona' actually. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess, like many things, it must depend where you are from. It's always been "stalk of rock" to me, just as it has always been "chippy" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
