Pronunciation: /ˈdɒdmən/, /ˈdɑdmən/ 1. A land-based snail. Labels: East-Anglia, dialectal Example: Yt is as great pyte to se a woman wepe / As yt is to se a sely dodman crepe, / Or, as ye wold say, a sely goose go barefote.

Labels: East-Anglia, dialectal, rare Example: At Wilmington in Sussex, the Long Man, with his 240 feet length cut into the turf on the hill-side[…], the largest and perhaps the earliest representation of prehistoric man in England, carries two staves.
