Language barrier

In the summer my garden shoes are the cheapest children's black canvas gym shoes. P and I are both of southern descent but he calls them plimsolls and I call them daps. He didn't understand what daps were.

Anyone else know what daps are?

I think it may have come from he name Dunlop Athletic Plimsolls.

Always known as Daps here in sunshiny South Wales.
There used to be a joke about Dai, the fastest runner in South Wales having an accident when he had a blowout in his dap.
Sorry but I can't remember the real joke but it was something like that!

They’re known as pumps in Stafford/ Stoke City or they were when I was a kid

Well, that was interesting and very nostalgic.  I had forgotten dapbags. I remember making one for our lad in primary school out of airforce blue material (there's still some in the loft some 30 years later,  maybe it's time for a clear out)  but although I know I had one I can't remember what it was made of.

They are all just sandshoes to me. Mek sure ya divn't get them mucky plodging in the clarts!

Just plimsoles here in Derbyshire or shortened to plims.
