I think it's Sparnie, there's a leg on that second P. Looking it up, seems Sparnies is a "Sarnie" shop, which I guess is a British term for a sandwich?
Sarnie is indeed slang for a butty
(For those not from the UK, "butty" is another word for a piece.)
(For those not from the UK, "piece" is another word for a filled breadcake.)
What's a breadcake? Is it bread or cake? You have to pick one...
Is this why British food sucks?
Piece of ..? Bread? Cake? Ass?
They didn't say "a piece of," just "a piece." Since we're talking about slang and since "a piece" is slang for "a gun," we're forced to conclude that the advertisement is for a gun shop.
But guns are biceps, so clearly it's a gym / fitness studio.
Oh, true. And it being a gym also supports the "ass" angle.
I like โbuttyโ being slang for a piece of ass better.
Isn't piece slang for cob?
we call it a barm round these parts
