twoer (plural twoers)

    • 1953, Julian Franklyn, The Cockney: a survey of London life and language:
      As the word implies the glarneys were glass marbles, but no ball out of an old mineral-water bottle was ever dignified by receiving the name, though such balls were not despised possessions, and had the rank of twoers.
