Woodlouse Names

Forgive me if i've raised this question before, but one of the Carers that regularly visits suggested I add this to my quest to learn the different words for Badger around the world.

The local names for Woodlice that I know are "Cheesybob" & "Coffin Cutters"

Anyone else got anything different?

 

Here's a starter (thanks to Stefan Buczacki) :-

Hello Alice. How nice to have you back.

 

Yeay, hi Alice

Told my hippy neighbour that woodlice were not named because they eat wood, but they were dedicated to Woden, the Norse God of War.

 

Well I guess thats all of them then:D
