Sections, folds, slices.... how do you refer to a 'piece' of hay?

[Sussexbythesea]

Section of hay.

Now can someone who knows how to do a poll to see the most popular term?

 

[Zebedee]

Always known them as Claps down here in Cornwall.

 

[Sirreal]

It's always been a cake of hay and a ledge of straw for me! Did my 'horsey growing up' in Lancashire and Shropshire.

 

[diamonddogs]

Slice from this born and bred Leicester girl, but Warwickshire friends call them pads.

 

[Fransurrey]

Originally Lancashire lass and I call it a slice.

 

[WelshD]

Pad

 

[Hippona]

Its a flap......honestly, do you know nowt?

 

[s4sugar]

Wodge!! Does no-one else say "a wodge of hay"? Maybe it's a Midlands thing...? I do sometimes call it a slice tho!

Wodge here too - Notts.

Also a slab.

Sorry English, Celt everything gone south.

 

[L&M]

Can't be bothered going through them all, so apologies if this has already been said, but have always referred to them as 'biscuits' x

 

[DiggerandWill]

Always used a 'cut' of hay.

I'm ancient and originally from NE London/Essex.

 

[tallyho!]

I am spring chicken/whipper snapper/young thing/wee nippah/babe (a hot one) and I call it a slice.

Actually no, earlier, I called it a section or did I?

Oh gawd, I'm confused!!! Baby brain getting me again!

 

[ktj1891]

Woah all those terms sound weird... we call them slabs.

 

[tallyho!]

Oh yes! I've remembered!

FLAP!

 

[tankgirl1]

I'd never heard anything other than slice until I joined up here
30 something in Derbyshire

ETA - on big round bales of haylage its a layer

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

I tend to say slice, sometimes flaps

 

[weesophz]

dont call it anything off a round bale, if off the small rectangle bales i call it a leaf

 

[weesophz]

I tend to say slice, sometimes flaps

just burst out laughing at flaps, excuse my mind! ..

 

[mandwhy]

A section or slice but I like flap!

 

[Crazycob06]

Laughing at flap!

I just asked my non horsey OH what he would call a piece of hay and he said straw! Haha! I think I worded it wrong and confused him!

 

[acw295]

"Section" - Buckinghamshire - 40 something!

Section, Buckinghamshire, 30 something!

"Slice" really irritates me. "Flap" make sense with big bale haylage somehow though.

 

[diamonddogs]

just burst out laughing at flaps, excuse my mind! ..

Not just me then!

 

[Paddy and Dandy]

I've called them 'rashers' for the last 36 years......
