Cobblers Meaning in English
word · lemma: cobbler
释义
"Cobblers" can mean shoemakers (people who repair shoes) or, in American English, a fruit-based dessert with a biscuit or pastry topping. In British slang, "cobblers" can also mean 'nonsense'.
用法与细微差别
"Cobblers" as 'shoemakers' is formal and dated in American English, but still clear elsewhere. As dessert, it's U.S.-specific; always plural when referring to the dish. British slang use ('nonsense') is informal. Don't confuse with 'cobbler' (singular person) vs. 'cobblers' (plural or slang/food).
