My friend calls woodlice, monkeypeas. Apparently this is common in the UK to call them different names depending on your region.

People in the North East have been known to call lunch (bait) which causes confusion to Southern folk.

The word bait makes them think of fishing.

At school (yes i long time ago!) we called wasps 'Jaspers'. No idea where that name came from.

Wood lice, I've heard called 'cheeselogs'
