Tankus Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 There are also some evocatively archaic phrases - such as "stepney", which in south Asia is used to mean a spare, as in spare wheel, spare mobile or even, "insultingly, it must be said, a mistress," says Ms MahalIts origins aren't in Stepney, east London, but Stepney Street in Llanelli, Wales, where a popular brand of spare tyre was once manufacturedwell well ... I used to live near Stepney street in Llanelli , and Ive now lived in Londons east end for close to 25 years ...innit ...arf ....funny what rubs off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
