Definitions

Affectionate Brummie term for one's sister, or sometimes a daughter or close female relative. 'Wench' kept its older neutral meaning of 'girl' in the Midlands long after it turned pejorative elsewhere. Paired with 'our' (as in 'our kid'), it's pure warmth.
“Our wench is coming round for tea, put the kettle on.”
