"WORDS AND PHRASES COMMON AT POLPERRO IN 

 CORNWALL, BUT NOT USUAL ELSEWHERE. 



(^Continued from Vol. x., p. 180.) 



Chap., a young fellow, not a full man. 



Cheein ; to cheem siji;nifies the first motion 

 towards sprouting, in a seed. 



Cleat, a thick and flat piece of wood, laid on 

 another, and nailed on, but not joined neatly. 



Clopp, to walk lame, and with jerks ; clapping, 

 walking in this manner. 



Cockle, to assume to be "cock of the walk;" 

 " to coccle over" any one, is to assume superiority 

 over him, chiefly by speech. It does not appear 

 to be the same with caccle. 



Coh, an exclamation of no very decided mean- 

 ing; but it signifies to put ofl^. The word is often 

 repeated twice : coh, coh, as much as to say, " you 

 don't mean what you say," " go along with you." 



Dafter, daughter. 



Daunce, dance. 



Daver, to soil ; davered, faded through use. A 

 thing is davered, when it has lost a portion of its 

 freshness for use. 



Deav, applied to a nut that has no kernel. 

 Chaucer uses the word deve ; but what connexion 

 has it with the word devious, as implying " erring," 

 going out of the right way ? . 



Dish, to have the mind suddenly cast down ; to 

 have the courage checked, or to check the courage^ 

 of another person. 



Dogga, the Picked Dog-fish. 



Dole, stupid from noise and confusion ; to be 

 confusedly stupid. The meaning diflering much 

 from that of dull. 



Dossity, spirit, activity; not having exactly the 

 same meaning with audacity. 



Doug, pronunciation of the word dog. 



Doivst, to throw a thing to the ground, into the 

 dust. I suppose this to be the same as the sea 

 term dowse, to lower or take down. The word 

 dust is often pronounced " dowst." The chaff of 

 thrashed corn is the dowst; and a preparation of 

 the Conger fish without salt, formerly exported, 

 and in S[)ain grated to powder when used, is 

 called " Congerdowst." 



Drang, a narrow passage ; whether between 

 houses, or between deep rocks in or near tlie sea. 

 There is a place near Polperro called Sylly Cove 

 Drang, from this cause. To dring is to press, or 

 be pressed, or squeezed in a crowd. Burns use* 

 the word thrang, as meaning close together. 



Driff, a small quantity (not now commonly 

 used). 



Drover, a fishing-boat employed in driving or 

 fishing with drift or floating nets. 



Drule, the old pronunciation of drivel; but the 

 latter word is now most commonly used meta- 

 phorically, for a weak and childish person. But 

 to drule is descriptive of letting the saliva run 

 from the mouth ; and is often used for little chil- 

 dren when cutting their teeth, and their mouths 

 run with water. 



Duggle, to walk about like a very young child, 

 with elfort and care. 



Dwalder, to speak tediously and confusedly, 



Ebbet, the common lizard, commonly called the 

 "eft;" which may be a corruption of this word. 

 The word eft signifies speedy or quick. 



Escaped; a person is said to be just escaped 

 when his understanding is only just enough to 

 warrant his being kept free from constraint, or the 

 tutelage of his friends. 



Eyle, the fish eel. 



Fairy, the local name of the weasel. 



Fellon, an inflammation resembling erysipelas ; 

 perhaps the old British name of that disease. 



Fenigy, to run away secretly, or so slip off as to 

 deceive e.xpectation ; deceitfully to fail in a pro- 

 raise. It is most frequently applied to cases where 

 a man has shown appearances of courtship to a 

 woman, and then has left her without any ap- 

 parent reason, and without any open quarrel. 



Flatter. This word is now, in common language, 

 used only in its metaphorical sense ; but with U3 

 it often means, to say one thing at one time and 

 another at another ; to deceive by false represent-, 

 ation ; and the root of the word is the same as
