“The goblins have been after me ever since I helped the Coven drive them out of Essex. (They were gobbling up drunk people in club bathrooms, and the Mage was worried about losing regional slang.) I think the goblin who successfully offs me gets to be king.”

"Naked mon bostin': 'Come on then, mate!'
Fat blokes beller'd back, "Yow'm laggin' n late!"
They fossick'd an' bostl'd by owd canal side,
Then oft fer a pint, wi' nowt left ter hide."

I am not just old, but archaic.
I used to help my grandma with her laundry, when she had a manual washtub.
We used a possing stick to get the dirt out,
"Your Dictionary" says:
(archaic) To mix with a vertical motion, especially when washing the hands.

The Oxford English Dictionary is more accurate. It says it's from Northern English dialect

Stel je voor: iemand biedt je een boterham met pannepisse aan. Klinkt misschien wat apart. Toch gaat het gewoon om iets dat je waarschijnlijk goed kent: peperkoek, of ontbijtkoek.

Fun to see the Irish idiom "make a hames of" in a national news headline: https://www.rte.ie/news/2026/0417/1568809-odonovan-protests/
I wrote about the expression in 2012: https://stancarey.wordpress.com/2012/11/07/making-a-hames-of-it/

I'm surprised to find out that bavarian (austro-bavarian) dialects are considered "vulnerable" according to wikipedia.
Uhmm what?
How many millions of speakers does a dialect need to be considered "safe"? -
