Talk:bretch

RFV discussion: May–July 2014
"Small tool used to create holes in leather." Created by an old Wonderfool incarnation, ostensibly from Wikipedia. I can't find anything on this and it sounds like a hoax. Plural "bretches" may possibly (unrelatedly) be an obsolete form of "breeches", or just a scanno. Equinox ◑ 05:31, 18 May 2014 (UTC)


 * The word bretch used to exist as a Middle English spelling of breach, and the OED has a 1610 cite. There is no trace in Google Books of the tool sense for leather, and the common word awl goes right back to Old English (in the Laws of Ælfred), so I agree that we should suspect a hoax.
