Best one lmao
A typo by Stephen King
In New Zealand this is what my son calls a bommy knocker
This is a term I have heard many times (in NZ) but I can't actually connect it with a physical thing..
The BIG marbles lol
I call 'em dangerous to bare feet!
Yup - same in Australia
Itβs when one boob is much bigger than the other.
Sounds like a British sex term
It really does!
A bommy is a small metal plate attached to the side of old wooden ships. It would be attached outside the ship a few feet above the water line. A metal knocker was fixed to the bommy with a small float. If the ship started to take on water or loaded to much cargo, the ship would sit lower in the water and the knocker would hit the bommy, alerting the crew of potential problems.
Sounds good at least...
Knocks boms
It's a flail. Like a wooden stick with a chain and a solid metal ball on the end
Knocks boms
Never heard it before. I googled it in incognito tab, just in case.
Looks like a mace.
Sounds like gin and tea, served hot with a twist of lemon.
A sort of monster with a butt fixation.
Yikes
An insult, a sex act, and/or a drink.
Made up nonsense.
Some kind of door knocker?
A blocker? (Sports or hormones?)
Thinking rhyming slang.
spoiler
Gonna knock your bommy off, apparently!
British schoolyard game
