There are lots of regional names for some items, including these 4.
Can you tell us the names you use and where you live (not your address as I'm not sending you a card!!)

1 roll - if it were larger and flatter it would be a tea cake (not to be confused with a current teacake).
2 dressing gown
3 ginnel
4 crust.
I'm from south yorkshire, although I now live in Lancaster, my wife (from Lancaster) agrees with me on these except the tea cake which apparently (although she's wrong) always has dried fruit in it and you don't need to qualify it, if it's no fruit it's not a teacake according to her.
