sprag


Common sparrow: I found a bunch of sprag's nest in the ceiling. Compare spagger, spoggy, sproggy.

Contributor's comments: Quite another meaning: SA Railways used the term - in print - for a piece of wood tied through wheel spokes to hold an unbraked wagon. This may be international, but the word is not in the Pocket Oxford.

Editor's comments: This is standard English. Not regional.
