On a holiday in Wales when I was maybe five, I was taught by local kids the Welsh for 'milk' was what sounded like 'severus', or 'severous'. I've tried google translate, but I cannot find any translation which might sound like that. Makes me wonder if I maybe wasn't taught the correct word.
Anyone speak Welsh?

Well the correct word is llefrith apparently
Local kids probably pulling your leg.
Knowing kids, likely a very rude word. ;-)
Dave Plowman (News) submitted this idea :
I would guess at that now, but obviously in my innocence, not back then.
Yeah, that's the welsh word for dog s*it.
Wouldn't that be "cachu ci"?
Llaeth where I was.

That was a joke, Joyce.
Don't laugh, see if I care.
Llaeth or Llefrith is milk. We have a jug from Wales with Llaeth on it. Dog s*it is cachu ci. Don't know what 'severus', or 'severous' is. I'll ask my Welsh partner.

There's no v in Welsh so it'll have to be something like sefrws???
