I've had calf fries in Texas 4 years ago , which is much the same thing. They look and taste exactly like Chicken McNuggets. I haven't been back to McDonalds since.

Poshpaws - I had a stottie once at a pub opposite a big touristy hop farm in Paddock Wood Kent. Big bread roll filled with cheese/ham or whatever. Nearly the size of a loaf but round.
Only place I ever had one -
As for your other word - singing hinny ???????????????No Idea - I seem to remember wives being called Hinny in Newcastle on Tyne when we were stationed up North but its probably nothing to do with that.

Here's how you play.... "Give the Yank a word!"

My challenge word is.... Drawing Pin!

Fortnight should be easy, I think most americans know what it is but never use it as it's seen as ancient. My yank wife knows.

A fortnight is a period of 2 weeks. As for Dustman, sounds like a brand of vacuum cleaner.

A *dustman* is what we call the guys who come and collect our rubbish/trash each week.
