Over the years Reading locals have picked up common words and phrases that have now become steadfast additions to their vocabulary.

In response to a social media post, many have shared the South East slang that they all know and love, with a multitude of phrases cropping up numerous times.

One consistent inclusion was cheese logs, a good deal of users included the phrase with their lists of common slang.

As previously reported, the true definition of a cheese log is a woodlouse.

You would say for example “chopped out a fair amount of garden overgrowth disturbed a lot of cheese logs”.

Other areas in the UK also call woodlice a similar name like "cheesy bobs" in Guildford, "cheesy bug" in Gravesend, and "cheesy lou" in Suffolk.

It's still a mystery as to why Reading people have coined this phrase.

Another consistency was Smelly Alley. The nickname for Union Street started in the 1940s due to the various butchers, grocers, and fishmongers that lined the alleyway.
