I remember hearingthe history of the word "Bobbins", as in rubbish.

It's something to do with the cotton mills.

Cunning is my favourite word, closely followed by eclectic.

When I first started out doing freelance programming, in one of my first presentations, I once told a potential client that something was "mint". Not my finest hour.

After moving back "dahn sarf" to the inbred wasteland that is Norfolk, I've carried this word with me!!

Over the years, people have asked why I say it / what it means!!

To the extent that a few people have adopted it into their vocabulary!!

Cracking word, and I'm happy attempt world domination of the word "bobbins"!!
