In urg, recreational gardening terms are used.


Sometimes some urglers use wrong terms. We are discussing an

instance
of that.

My father, on his allotment in the 1930s, used to infuse fag ends in

one
of his empty Golden Virginia tobacco tins. He used it on greenfly

and
anything else that moved. He called it 'jollop'. Was I being misled?


No. But your father would probably not have argued if someone had
mentioned to him that his jollop was a tobacco infusion.
