Be Excellent To Each Other

After discussion at work I thought I'd ask you guys.

Personally, I say "cob" like all sensible people.

Bap or Barm Cake

If it is a large 'bap' they are know as oven bottoms

It depends on the dimensions and a few other factors. It's just not a simple question.

a stotty like.

Barm cake.

Clearly it's a bap.

Why is the correct option of "bun" not present?

Edit: *Votes "Other"*

This has always confused me. It's a bun. Regardless of the size shape or flavour, it's a BUN.

Everything else is just regional nonsense. And wrong

I remember having this chat at uni. It is as varied as accents.

Buns have fruit in, like current t-cakes

I hate the word "bap". It makes me feel sick.

I also hate "crisps" and "wasps". "sps" Ick

It's either a roll or a bap, depending on how far it's risen.

Roll, like any right-thinking proper Englishman.

It's a loaf if it's big enough though, a round loaf.

Crappy Warburtons thing for sticking burgers in = a bun
Almost everything else = a barm.

Bread.

All of you, except LewieP, are filled with wrong.

Sweet = CAKE, surely?
Everything else = BUN.

I will say no more. THREAD CLOSED

So that's what you'd say if you went into a delicatessen and wanted something that wasn't sliced bread?

That is like using the term 'car' to describe a Ford Mondeo.

Bap.

A roll is a smaller, non-crusty baguette. Cobs are corn, and Barm isn't even a word.

Surely you wouldn't ask for a cheese and ham bun would you? It's a fucking roll, or, if flatter than roll standard, a bap.

"Cheese and ham"?!?!

Surely you mean "Ham and cheese".

That's because they're all horrible tinny words. Cob is lovely woody proper word. Bap. Urgh.. tin tin tin tinny urgh tin.

Bun, obviously.

I was amused to see what were obviously hot dog buns being sold in Morrison's as 'ranch rolls'.

Roll, naturally.

It's what it says on the packet.

Of course I would. Using one word makes life double plus good.

Many words is double plus ungood.

I with this...baps is where its at.

A cob has to be crusty, Shirley?

A bap has to be soft.

A roll can be either.

Glad to have been of service.

A cob is a crusty roll.

A hot dog bun is a finger roll.

All are rolls.

Nuts Midlanders will often refer to them as "a batch", even if they are referring only to one individual roll. THIS is wrong.

Such confusion. All are buns.

Full. Stop.

The poll says otherwise. We Rollerians win.

It would do - because bun isn't in there.

'Other' is though, and that's only got half the amount of votes.

Well yeah, but it's human nature to go for the nearest match that is there.

Try asking for a 'bun' at any Sheffield sandwich shop...

Definitions are roughly:

Bap - about 6 inches
Bread cake - about 8-inches
Wheel - about 12 inches
Tractor - about 18 inches

We used to have a shop that delivered these to our offices, and one of our programmers regularly had a 'Breakfast Tractor', which comprises of the aforementioned 18-inch lump of bread, filled with 4 fried eggs, 8 strips of bacon, 4 sausages, beans, tomato & mushrooms.
For about £4.

& yes, he was a lardy bugger.

It's quite obviously a roll. "Bap" sounds like something done in a porn movie - "Ooh yeah! Bap me, baby! Bap me harder!"

I consider rolls to be longer than cobs, I went for cob. They're all round and risen-ey.

BUNS YOU FOOLS!

[vote: Kalmar]

BUNS?! And you're from Fife?! What bloody part of Fife calls them buns? It must be a posh part.

LOTR pun fail!

Oh err, yeah I meant SAFTIES.

I call shenanigans on this whole scotch thing. You are a sassenach, I tells yae!

Easy way to tell. Has Kalmar ever eaten anything without deep frying it first?
