Today's Word: bap
Meaning: A soft, round bread roll.

Hate to bring the tone down, but "bap" is also Irish slang for a woman's breast. "Soft, round" - isn't it obvious?

Usage: "She had a fine set of baps, so she did".

You think that's going to bring the tone down?!

Right down into the gutter!

bap

Bap in the Mitteldeutsch (Franconian) dialect of Cologne means 'dad, pops', and is also the name of a really good rock band which sings in Kölsch, too.

and in hindi/punjabi too allowing for shonky transliteration

It is interesting to note that in the UK the term "bap" is often used with burgers and sandwiches served on a soft roll like a hamburger bun in the USA, whereas a sandwich on a hard roll is a called a baguette. So in the morning you might go to the train station and there is a guy there selling an egg-bacon bap for travelers. UK English speaking countries seem to know this term but in my travels I have seen it most often used in the south of England. I don't have any specific knowledge but it seem likely that "bap" is like lift/elevator or lawyer/solicitor just a word choice that was popularized by common usage, and based on the observation on the frequency of usage most likely from the south in the UK.
