WHAT DOES DODMAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Dodman

A dodman or a hoddyman dod is a local English vernacular word for a land snail. The word is used in some of the counties of England. This word is found in the Norfolk dialect, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. Fairfax, in his Bulk and Selvedge, speaks of “a snayl or dodman.” Hodimadod is a similar word for snail that is more commonly used in the Buckinghamshire dialect. Alternatively are the closely related words Dodderman or Doddiman. In everyday folklore, these words are popularly said to be derived from the surname of a traveling cloth seller called Dudman, who supposedly had a bent back and carried a large roll of cloth on his back. The words to dodder, doddery, doddering, meaning to progress in an unsteady manner, are popularly said to have the same derivation. A traditional Norfolk rhyme goes as follows: "Doddiman, doddiman, put out your horn, Here comes a thief to steal your corn." Source: Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1894 The 'inventor' of ley lines, Alfred Watkins, thought that in the words "dodman" and the builder's "hod" there was a survival of an ancient British term for a surveyor.
