In the Scots language and the Northumbrian English dialect, a griddle is called a girdle. The transposition of the sounds is due to linguistic metathesis.[1] Therefore, griddle scones are known as girdle scones. This usage is also common in New Zealand where scones, of all varieties, form an important part of the traditional cuisine.
