woody ... In my vocabulary it is a station wagon with wooden panels on the side.

The first surf song to go # 1 on the record charts: Surf City:

I got a '34 wagon and I call it a Woody
Surf City here we come
You know its not very cherry, it's an oldie but a goodie
Surf City here we come
Well it ain't got a back seat or a rear window
But it still gets me where I want to go.

Bean ol' mate - I reckon you'll only embarass yourself if you persist with the pursuit of regional meanings for 'woody'.

Either that, or you are an even more interesting person that I'd come to believe! Go Girl!!

Like Tsyganka, the meaning here has turgidity and puppetry implications. Eiffel tower connotations - if you know what I mean...........

Would not a woody buried in the snow no longer be a woody?
