cwtch reminds me of the German word kuscheln, which means to cuddle or hug.
I had a gambo I kept down my Nan’s back. I used to race it down the gwli.
Guiseppi Bracchi was the first Italian to open a cafe in Wales
Some of these were familiar, never heard of bracchi but I got the rest! Trainers were always daps growing up, butty often used as buddy but sometimes to mean a sandwich
When I was growing up Daps were always those canvas trainers we used in gym class and butty was a filled roll like a cheese and ham roll but we used the term bap more often. ‘Can I have a cheese bap Mam?’
We had bracchi in the Rhondda when I asked growing up. They were great and usually run by at least one Italian family member.
10 for me, I grew up in the Rhondda fach.
Da iawn 👍
9/10 for me, grew up in Cardiff. Had no idea what a bracchi is.
Nor me! I guessed that one!
My Dad always said that rubber soled shoes were called daps because they made the sound "dap, dap, dap" on the gym floor. Butty confused me because that is what my parents called sandwiches. My Dad was from Cardiff and my Mum from Cilfynydd.
9/10. Does dim bracchi yn ein pentre !
Da iawn!
Da iawn, Jason! I had exactly the same answers, and for the same reasons, as you except for 'mitchin', which I guessed to mean cheating, so 9/10 for me. Not bad for a Yorkshireman!
Re: 'butty', I've always assumed it to be the equivalent of the English 'buddy'. Historically, butty has also been used to refer to an unpowered narrowboat, which is towed by (or sometimes 'breasted up' with) a powered one. Again, I've always assumed it was so called as it was a buddy (or friend) of the towing boat.
A cwtch is better than a cuddle
gambo was used in the rhondda but we said bôgi further south. Instead or bwgi bo we said bwgi man.
