I don't understand the question .Do you mean ,what does someone mean when they say wossisname?

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

A wossisname can be anything you like except you can't remember the name for it - OR when you can't say the name for some reason (as in nudge nudge wink wink although I don't think the term was used in that a wossisname, or wossername, could easily have been used in that sketch just about anywhere? )

[Ponder Stibbons]

Well, wossnames is just another way of saying what's-names, just a different accent, so i suppose wossisname is the same

 

[Cheery]

A wossname is a thingy... thing... that does... things. And, and when it does things it goes... thingy... that's what a wossname is all about: thingy.
Get my drift?

 

[mystmoon]

[michelanCello]

A wossname's a...a...wossname.

Wossisname clearly refers to a person. That bloke who's name is on the tip of your tongue... met him last year.... wife was a nightmare, I mean, who does she think she is? But he had a really nice car though. Must have got it through work.

Gossip? Moi?
