A term employed to state that someone is crazy, e.g., "mad as a March Hare." Derives from the March Hare which Alice pursues down the rabbit hole in Lewis Carrol's "Alice in Wonderland."

British term for a frozen confection on a stick, equivalent to the American term "popsicle." In the plural sense, the term "lolly ices" may be used, e.g., "one ice lolly," or "an entire selection of lolly ices."
It was a hot day in Merseyside, and Bill stopped by the ASDA to buy a box of lolly ices, but they were sold out; a clerk told him there wasn't an ice lolly to be had all the way to Blackpool.

1.) A variety of chewing tobacco, sold as a bar of tightly compressed, cured tobacco leaves compressed between sheets of brown paper or whole tobacco leaves. Plug tobacco is commonly cured with mollasses. While less common than many years ago, plug tobacco is still manufactured: "Day's Work" is a common brand. Remnants of the plug-making process are sold as scrap, where the loose leaf material is packed in a bag.
2.) The wad of plug or scrap tobacco that is held between the cheek and gum, often producing a bulging appearance on the side of the face. This, along with spitting, was once a common sight when it was a fad for baseball players to chew plug tobacco during a game.
