I read this in the Guardian. You don't have to go very far to find dialect words that have no standard english equivalent.

My favourite is "bumfle" (spelling uncertain) which describes clothing which rides up into a rolls usually around your waist. Think of a bulky jumper tucked into a too tight pair of jeans and you begin to get the picture.

Would your word in any way refer to your post on privacy?

Love A.
