Their first citation is an 1825 glossary of Wiltshire dialect saying it means to strike with the head, and their most recent is an 1875 dictionary of Sussex dialect defining it as to rock a cradle with the foot. I've lived in Sussex most of my life, and I didn't know of the usage until just now. | |
