Thafuq is a "Spapnie"? 🤢

[-] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago

I think it's Sparnie, there's a leg on that second P. Looking it up, seems Sparnies is a "Sarnie" shop, which I guess is a British term for a sandwich?

Sarnie is indeed slang for a butty

(For those not from the UK, "butty" is another word for a piece.)

Piece of ..? Bread? Cake? Ass?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

They didn't say "a piece of," just "a piece." Since we're talking about slang and since "a piece" is slang for "a gun," we're forced to conclude that the advertisement is for a gun shop.

But guns are biceps, so clearly it's a gym / fitness studio.

Oh, true. And it being a gym also supports the "ass" angle.

I like “butty” being slang for a piece of ass better.

Because "fanny" is vagina over there?

(For those not from the UK, "piece" is another word for a filled breadcake.)

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Clarifies a certain schoolyard nickname, apparently.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

What's a breadcake? Is it bread or cake? You have to pick one...

Is this why British food sucks?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Isn't piece slang for cob?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

we call it a barm round these parts

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

But this says sparnies, not sarnies. And does it include chips?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Looks like Sparnies is the shop name (it's based in a place called Leamington Spa). No sign of chips sadly.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

Yup--a sarnie shop in a Spa town. See what they've done there...
