Spud

A hole in a sock. This is due to the appearance of the foot through that hole being likened to that of a potato. Most noticeable with heavy contrasts of skin colour to sock colour. This may well be a south of Britain colloquial term, but this hasn't been firmly established.

"Why don't you take your shoes off?"

"My socks are covered in spuds."

"I don't think I've got one sock in my drawer that ain't got a spud in it."
