How About a Little Scrumpy, Mate
A few months ago, I watched a PBS travel show where the host was making his way through England. He stopped at a place in Western England and sampled a popular drink called scrumpy* cider. Here’s a list of other names you could call scrumpy cider and it would still sound as delectable:
- stumpy
- scruffy
- sluicey
- scratty
- scumpy
- scrotty
- numblers
- dingo juice (Australian version)
*Scrumpy is a local dialect term meaning small or withered apple.
