My fellow Welsh learner @kevin has commented on how confusing it is that "tost" means both "pain" and, well, "toast".
Here's an example of an ad that uses this double meaning to make a cute pun.
"Gyda bwyd a diod wedi'u gwneud ar alw, gallwch gael darn o dost, heb ben tost."
This means: "With food and drink made to order, you can have a piece of toast without the headache."
"Tost" in the sense of "toast" is played off against "pen tost", pain in the head or headache.
I am delighted to share the news that my dad has written a book based on a real murder case in Edwardian Cardiff.
It's called The Unrespectable Woman and it tells the true story of the last woman ever to be hanged in Wales.
It's historical fiction, but based on real-life events and a lot of original research. This is the first novel ever to tell her story. Available on Amazon here:
