What do you call the two end slices of bread that start and finish a loaf of bread?
That's the latest debate being discussed online by Brits who can't seem to come to a definitive answer, with some calling it something simple like just "the crust", and others opting for a more out-there option, such as "the foreloaf", or more hilariously, "Steve".
The discussion was sparked on Twitter by the No Context Brits account after it posted a picture of a loaf of bread with an arrow pointing to the end slice and text which read: "What do you call the end piece of bread?"
And before long the tweet, which has been viewed more than one million times, was inundated with responses from Brits battling it out to defend their word for the slice.
Among the most popular terms were simply "the crust" and "the heel", although some argued that the crust wasn't a distinct enough name, as every slice of bread has some crust on it - despite the end slices being almost entirely crust.
One person wrote: "I thought everyone called it the crust, never in my life have I heard it called anything else."
While another said: "The crust, obviously."
And a third posted: "The heel. Surely everyone calls it that?"
Other commenters said they don't have a name for it and just call it "the end bit" or "the end slice", while others got more inventive with their terms for the unique pieces of bread, with some joking they call it "the bit that goes in the bin", and a few even giving the slices human names.
"It's like a lid," one commenter argued, "Take a middle slice out, put the crust back to keep the rest fresh."
As someone else claimed: "Rubbish ... it's called rubbish and goes straight into the bin."
One joked: "The foreloaf", and another quipped: "Callum and Steve."
And bread isn't the only thing that's divided Brits recently, as people also had a discussion over what the correct name is for the children's game in which you knock on someone's front door and run away.
It turns out that many of us have different names for this childhood pastime, ranging from the most common to some we think people might have made up.
Giving the most common answer, one person said: "Knock Down Ginger," while others said they always called it: "Knock a door run."
But some people, however, had very different names for it, including "Chickenelly," which apparently is used in some parts of Scotland.
