I’m currently having an argument that Barm isn’t an actual word and that it’s a meaningless word.

What other words around the UK make no sense other than from where they’re made up?

Also feel free to tell Saff how wrong she is

Don’t come around here with your etymology and stuff.

Tea cake makes sense, bread roll makes sense. Barm is just a noise that a weird sheep makes, it has no meaning beyond being a word that Mancunians use

A barmpot was a pot that bakers stored yeast in. Maybe the bread that was made from the yeast from the barmpot became known as a barm?

Don’t come around here with your etymology and stuff.

Tea cake makes sense, bread roll makes sense. Barm is just a noise that a weird sheep makes, it has no meaning beyond being a word that Mancunians use

Tea cake only makes sense if there is fruit in it though

Ahh but a barm with fruit in is a fruit teacake, therefore a fruit teacake minus the fruit is a teacake

Check. Mate. "

No - that’s wrong it’s not a fucking fruit tea cake. It’s a tea cake the very name suggests it has fruit in it .. there’s no need to say fruit. That argument is ridiculous. It’s a bread roll or a bun or a bap which are all so much better than barm or tea cake Honestly the idiots from the wrong side of the Pennines need to learn to speak. Alreet pet.

Jammy = to have good luck e.g. "he found £200 in an envelope outside, the jammy sod"
