My most recent quiz:

Yep, (apple) core is all I've ever heard for it.

Cor de poma "heart of apple".

One of the meanings for cor is "the inner part of a fruit".

In the entry for core, the OED gives a cross-reference for colk, glossed as "The core of an apple or similar fruit." This may still exist dialectally, but it's marked as archaic. Both this and core are first attested almost simultaneously, making me wonder what the Old English form was, if known.

It had never occurred to me before Izo's post that there might be a connexion between English core and Romance CORDE(M). However, the OED dismisses this as implausible, pointing out that the Old French form was cuer and that none of suggested etymologies account for the final -e of the English word.

I'm familiar with it, but I never use it. Around here it's kind of an AAVE thing.
I guess I'd use 'hit on' in the same sense as that.

I think I might call the ice cream a "soft serve twist on a cone" or if I was among family, maybe a "vanchoc swirl" or something. It's kind of mix and match, but the vanchoc comes from us always calling Neapolitan "vanchocstraw".

Endpiece of bread is endpiece. "Mack" I've only seen on Internet. Eye stuff is mucus (really).

Heh, it's almost exactly a year since the last post on this thread. I've never heard that word before.

Do you have a name for this dish and, if so, what is it?

Arròs amb mongetes negres "rice with black beans". Typical of Cuba.

Rice and beans. Also linguoboy: "connection".

'Connexion' is a valid but somewhat archaic spelling. It's not wrong to use it, just pretentious (if I am allowed to use the word pretentious), for people who want to appear learnèd. The only place I've seen 'connexion' other than linguoboy is in H. P. Lovecraft. Anyway this discussion is over a year old, I've just noticed.

Re: OP

I call it an ice-cream cone. Also a "99er", since it cost just 99p when I were a young lad. Ah yes, those were the days, going for a day up windy and cold Ditchling Beacon, then going to the ice-cream van for a 99er. Except I'd have it with a flake.
