    Baps are large, flat, doughy, undercooked rolls whose only redeeming feature is that you can stuff more junk food into one than you can stuff into an ordinary roll.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Oggies, teacakes and lardy  cake in the West Country.  All made with love for the Devon dumplings.

    I always thought 'oggies' were pasties, not bread  :/

    Stotties are great for a family picnic - one stottie feeds 4...  lived 22 years near Newcastle so that's the one I know best.  Cooked on the oven bottom, I believe.
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Never heard of it [rowie] either - and I've lived here all my life.  :)
    On the map it's showing it as being throughout the southern half of Scotland [and covering the area I live in]  - but your pic shows Aberdeen. Slight difference in location @SlipperyElm   ;)

    I'd say the baps/ lumpy bits under pullovers can apply to men too @Hostafan1 .... :D

    Vomtastic it is indeed @Biglad, and almost as bad as 'influencer'
    I might use vomtastic on a regular basis now. I like that. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Heard the word 'rowie' all the time in the Aberdeen area, and also in some Dundee bakeries.
