Pitch

Terminology used in Bristol UK, for those rare occasions when snow accumulates on the ground instead of instantly melting.

Archie: 'Well bugger me, it's snowing outside!'
Jermaine: 'Is it pitching?'
Archie: 'Yes. Yes it is.'

gashead

One with a strong sense of loyalty, character and a sense of humour.

Often found strolling around parts of north and east Bristol, singing an old Leadbelly song.

Tends to dislike those residing south of the river Avon.

A Bristol Rovers fan.

onion bag

Football term for the goal. More specifically the net hanging off the goalposts. (soccer if you're american)

'The purchase Agogo dealt on his effort was frightening. He spanked it clean into the back of the onion bag. His goal was a proper hum-dinger and no mistake.'
