A spare wheel or a spare tire. 2. Something or someone treated as a backup. ETYMOLOGY: After Stepney Street in Llanelli, Wales, where such wheels were initially manufactured. Earliest documented use: 1907. NOTES:In the early days, automobiles did not come with a spare wheel. At the same time, roads were often not in good condition. Also, they were more likely to have nails that had fallen from horseshoes. As a result, flat tires or punctures were common. Walter and Thomas Davies started a business manufacturing compact spare wheels at Stepney Street and it took off. As a result, such wheels came to be known as stepneys. These days the term is used mostly on the Indian subcontinent. ______________________________ STEPKEY - needed to decipher the Dance of the Bees, which they use to tell the hive where the source of nectar is STEPNEY - rigging used by sailors to climb to the sails and spars SHEPNEY - word used by some Welsh rustics as an elided form of "Shetland pony" Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter PEPPERALLY - in a manner of sneezing wofahulicodoc #231887 06/09/22 01:21 AM Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 10,735 Likes: 2 Worcester, MA W wofahulicodoc OP Carpal Tunnel OP wofahulicodoc Carpal Tunnel W Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 10,735 Likes: 2 Worcester, MA PEPPER ALLEY PRONUNCIATION: (PEP-uhr AL-ee) MEANING: noun: 1.
