Definitions
1
A fast wash covering at least the face and hands — the bare-minimum freshen-up before tea, the pub, or your nan coming round. 'Tidy' here means 'proper/good' (Welsh English's all-purpose adjective), 'swill' is the act of sluicing water about. Not a shower, not a bath, just enough to look human.
“I've had a tidy swill, I'm ready when you are.”
