Lots of people use cwtch for cuddle now, but when I say something like “put it in the cwtch” or “it’s in the cwtch” it catches them all out

Cwtch is more widely known now, I agree, but unless you're Welsh, it's not generally the go to word for a cuddle.

What's your meaning for cwtch?

The word itself is used by everyone everywhere but it is afforded a different meaning.

Mind.

It’s used to replace ‘remember’ and also a way of saying whether you know something.

My mum used to tell us to stop chopsing as I’m chatting/nattering

My parents lived all over the world when growing up so we use many regional sayings that most locals won’t have heard
