if theres a clue tucked away in there the answer could be breakfast.
I did say it was an adjective, so you don't quite get full marks, but it is related to breakfast. In fact, that is what it means "related to breakfast".
jentacular. Adjective. (comparative more jentacular, superlative most jentacular) Of or pertaining to a breakfast taken early in the morning, or immediately on getting up
This is the way

Having both a father and uncle (sadly departed) from "Oop North" (Wath-on-Dearne), I'm well used to the "Pillock" phrase - as I am to "Daft Apeth" - any guesses to where the latter came from/was based on?

'Apeth' is derived from 'half penny worth'. My mother still uses it to this day.

One of my uncle's favorite phrases for me when I was a kid was
"You're about as useful as a crack in a glass eye" ..... happy families!

Cakey, West Country for someone who is a bit soft-sounding, best said with a Devon accent

I know a guy from Norfolk, UK who pronounces the word "Few" as "Foo". Is that the Norfolk dialect or just a problem with his teeth and lips?
