What do YOU think SCOBBERLOTCHER is?

This is a hard one! I �ll start with the preffix SCOB. Maybe it �s a snob person saying SCAB, or covering. Berlotcher kind of sounds like the way gradma called a brooch, a berloque. So, a scobberlotcher would be the outside of a brooch. COBBER could also mean that a cobbler was involved so it would be a broock made by or better, worn by a cobbler.
Now, don �t ask me (force me?) to contribute to the picture of the day. What are my relatives doing there?

I think that cobber is simply another word for copper. Also, a lotcher is a person who does something...a lot! So, a scobberlotcher is a person who works at a mine and digs out lots of copper! |
