RE: An Ingenious Pot Holder! - Simple things that make Life more Fun

Crikey, it's creativity central down there. By the time the owners return there'll be bockety little tables adorned with crocheted doilies stuffed into every nook and cranny:)

Haha, just learned some new words here ^^ I like "bockety" 😄
Yeah, it’s all the bottled up creativity from months of vanlife ^^ finally we got some nooks and crannies to fill 😄

Haha, so funny, bockety is in none of my dictionaries. Looks like there's room for one I don't know yet. What have you found?

It seems to be an Irish term for something unstable, wobbly, physically unsteady.
this bockety little table, so there you have an example 😄 @deirdyweirdy referred to

I didn't make it up...honest injun!
Bockety

That's actually a dictionary I have not considered. Thanks for sharing. This word definitely needs a place in https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=bockety

And @paradigmprospect's table (hello!), that is not a table but soon a walking cupboard (only one step beyond) is probably only asking for a cup for making it's first step. ;-) (Why didn't you cross-bond the bamboo? How wonderful to see such building material growing in the garden.)

If he can make a walking cupboard, he'll make millions. Imagine, no more going to the cupboard, the cupboard would come to us:) By the way, here in Ireland we call a cupboard a press!

Oh yes, if the table made more then only one step, it would be a thing. :-) I haven't heard that press can be a shelf or table either. A hint I found is in https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=press
