Thafuq is a “Spapnie”? 🤢
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?
Yup–a sarnie shop in a Spa town. See what they’ve done there…
Sarnie is indeed slang for a butty
But this says sparnies, not sarnies. And does it include chips?
Looks like Sparnies is the shop name (it’s based in a place called Leamington Spa). No sign of chips sadly.
(For those not from the UK, “butty” is another word for a piece.)
Isn’t piece slang for cob?
Piece of …? Bread? Cake? Ass?
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.
I like “butty” being slang for a piece of ass better.
Because “fanny” is vagina over there?
But guns are biceps, so clearly it’s a gym / fitness studio.
Oh, true. And it being a gym also supports the “ass” angle.
(For those not from the UK, “piece” is another word for a filled breadcake.)
What’s a breadcake? Is it bread or cake? You have to pick one…
Is this why British food sucks?
