Rereading Lust Over Pendle, and have hit a bit of a snag. Most of the Britishisms I've managed to sort out by context or being enough of an Anglophile to already know what they're on about, but...

I suspect most of them hear "Longbottom" and add mentally "Bring your own whippet".

I'd try to explain the context, but I'm not even sure which parts are relevant. Help?

Did you find out the answer? I just turned up this post when searching for the phrase for the same reason with little luck. I thought asking might be worth a try.
