cheeselog

Where it comes from

Uncertain. Perhaps alteration of an earlier term through folk etymology influenced by cheese and log. Compare cheslip, lockchester.

noun cheeselogs

A woodlouse. The only local word anybody mentioned was 'cheeselog' (meaning 'woodlouse' - Ed). I think it comes from an American cake that's long and thin, and has segments.
