Divvers

/ˈdɪvərz/ noun

Definition

British slang for various things, miscellaneous items, or different kinds; plural of diver or divvy.

Etymology

British informal/slang term, possibly related to 'divers' (meaning various) or as a plural of 'diver' (one who divvies). The spelling suggests a dialectal or colloquial compression.

Kelly Says

Divvers is distinctly British slang that shows how spoken language creates shortcuts—instead of saying 'various things' or 'miscellaneous items,' Brits might just say 'divvers,' which is faster and more colloquial.
