Woodlice - what would you call them? (following on from Binner's thread) 22:20 - May 19 with 1240 viewsGuthrum

These things:



"Sowbugs" was the term I learnt as a child. That's "sow" as in female pig, not as in seeds.

I don't know whether "sowbug" is a Suffolk term or a family one.

I've never met your family so it would be rude to comment.


(I've never heard the term, so it's unlikely to be midlands, which is where my clan comes from, or Suffolk)
