Todays BWOTD is commonly used in daily conversation back home:
"The other person working with me is such a dosser""I just dossed around all day"'Doss' = to sit around and just do nothing!I do this pretty regularly in the evenings and I really don't care who knows it, so at times "yes I'm a dosser" :-)
I already know I'll be dossing on Sunday night as I watch the Oscars and admire the designer dresses floating by!

I doss too much.
We use doss slightly differently here - we 'doss' down by arriving (unannounced usually) and swooping on the sofa, or some such, for a nights sleep. You may have in fact experienced an antipodean doing exactly this at your place in the UK at some stage lol. If not, lucky you!
I love to doss ;)
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I doss alot. Oh and I am looking forward to sunday to with the Oscars with all the frocks!.. Love your blog. NIce to find someone british blogging and living out here x x
I must be a dosser because my maiden name was Doss.
Wow, another one I have not heard. Although I'm a bit tainted by the Oxbridge "DoS" or "Director of Studies," the person responsible for a student's academic progress.
Ah yes dossing is one of life's pleasures...so DeeBee, you were Miss Doss then! (giggle)
you know i forget these terms or that they are unique to UK so thanks again for reminding me, you silly dosser!
HAve you used "naff" yet?
not yet mmmmm
We have a similar term that means the same thing. It is SOOFA. We SOOFA'd all day. Which stands for "Sat on our fat A**es"
I relate to that word, Sarah!!!!! I am the Queen of Doss.
Hugs,
Betsy
Are you sure that's not cock-a-nee rhyming slang there, Sarah ??!!
I've vaguely heard of 'dossing around' but not for a long time and certainly not in any other context, like being a dosser. No wonder foreigners find our language so difficult to master when even we natives use words differently.
And not to be confused with t*****!
I love my doss time. I could doss around for days. Guess I'm a dosser.
I plan on doing a lot of dossing about this weekend. Have a good one.
Doss! Hahaha! That is so me. I am a dosser too. :P
Hiya from SITS!
Dossing is great, so is being a dosser!
...not to be confused with being a tosser, though...
ah, that's a new one! I've heard duffer but not dosser...thank you Sarah...let me go doff about now...house work has got me knackered!
