"Oggy" is a slang term for a Cornish pasty or the Devonian variant, derived from its Cornish and Devonian name, "hoggan", and was used by local Devon and Cornish sailors at the Devonport Dockyard in reference to pasty sellers who stand outside the gates.
The troubadour of Welsh rugby, who popularised the chant during the golden years of Welsh rugby in the 1970s, explained, "It almost certainly came from Cornwall, hence the Cornish name 'oggy' for a Cornish pasty.
Some say that pasty sellers used to shout “Oggy, oggy, oggy!” as a means of drumming up trade, with the response from hungry customers being “Oi, oi, oi”. Another version says that wives of tin/coal miners used to shout the chant down the mineshaft to see if they should send lunch down into the pit.
The familiar 'Oggy, oggy, oggy' chant is said to have originated from pasty sellers or tin miners' wives announcing the arrival of their freshly baked wares. The traditional acknowledgment was 'Oi, oi, oi'.
tiddly is naval slang for 'proper', as used in the navy and dockyards, especially Devonport; so tiddly oggy can be translated as being a proper pasty, as in Proper Cornish Pasty. tiddy is Cornish/Devon vernacular for potato, along with 'taty', 'taties' (pronounced 'tay-tees') and spuds.
In Cornwall, a pasty is often called an “Oggie”, and while it is unclear as to where the word originated, some people have suggested that it is derived from hoggan, a kind of bag in which the miners carried their croust (croust is the Cornish term for lunch).
In Wales it is the oggie. Like the Cornish pasty evolved for tin miners, who, unable to return to the surface at lunchtime had a hearty, easy to hold and eat, lunch, the oggie was born from the same premise.
"Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi" is a cheer or chant often performed at Australian sport events. It is a variation of the Oggy Oggy Oggy chant used by both soccer and rugby union fans in Great Britain from the 1960s onwards. It is usually performed by a crowd uniting to support a sports team or athlete.
One theory is that when the pasties were ready to be eaten, the word “oggy” was shouted down mine shafts by the wives who had cooked them. In response, the miners would shout “oi, oi, oi!” so their wives would know they had been heard. It is said the mark of a good pasty was surviving being dropped down a mine shaft.
Here is OGGY, the only cat the word « feline » can't apply to. He would be the happiest of cats if three hideous cockroaches hadn't decided to settle inside his comfortable home: JOEY, DEEDEE, and MARKY. They are ugly, stupid, nasty and determined to make Oggy's life a misery.
Official profiles state that Oggy and Jack are cousins, but this is never directly stated or even implied in canon, as Jack was in a romantic relationship with Oggy's twin sister, Monica.
Oggy holds an intense grudge against Dee Dee, Marky, and Joey, which goes back to even when he was a baby (revealed in the episode It's a Small World or Itsy-Bitsy Oggy).
The scenes were probably cut for kids so they wouldn't imitate the things that are usually dangerous in real life, such as when the cockroaches put a magnifying glass next to Oggy's face while relaxing out in the beach in Beachcombers or the characters eating keys as shown in Take Cover, Locked Outside, To Serve and ...
And on the same subject, the Welsh word for jellyfish is not “pysgodyn wibli wobli” (puh-skod-in wibbly wobbly), or, in English, wibbly wobbly fish. Lord alone knows what comedian came up with that one, but it's fairly new in the lexicon of non-existent Welsh words.
#10 Is wibbly wobbly Welsh for jellyfish? I'm afraid 'wibbly wobbly' is not Welsh for jellyfish. Like 'popty-ping' (for microwave), 'wibbly wobbly' is a slang word that became a popular way of describing them.
They say 'wejen' for girlfriend and 'sboner' for boyfriend. The word 'sboner' comes from the English word 'spooner' dating back to the times when men used to give their girlfriends love spoons. Nice to see an old tradition is carried on in this modern day word...
Once upon a time, Wales was known as the largest producer of coal. The men would go off to the coal mines while the lady of the household would prepare Welsh cakes. These would be served with afternoon tea. Children were also given these delightful griddle-cooked cakes to take along with their lunches for school.
Among the Gypsies entering the south of Britain during the 15th-17th centuries were two main groups, the Romanichal and the Kale. The Kale, who became the Welsh Gypsies, probably came from Spain, through France and landed in Cornwall, eventually making their way to Wales. The two groups spoke different dialects.
This basic formula includes pork sausage, bacon, blood sausage, beans, a fried egg, and tomatoes, and then there are some distinctly Welsh additions. The full Welsh breakfast also includes extra bites like laverbread, cockles, and Glamorgan sausages.
