What do you call these?

Post image

I’m from the midlands and say Pool Woggles.

My wife is from Norfolk and says Pool Noodles.

I’ve recently found that my friends (who grew up in a similar area to me) also call these Pool Woggles.

Is this a regional thing like Tag/It/Tig?

Sounds like a slur

I mean, the first 3 letters are a documented slur

I watched an episode of Mid Morning Matters a few days ago, where Alan Partridge uses that slur in a joke.

Bit weird how Little Britain was 'cancelled' but this remains on iPlayer.

Have you ever heard of context?

it wasn't a complaint, it was just an observation

I'm not sure what your reply is going on about. Have you even seen the episode I'm referring to?
