There is no word in welsh for microwave so they improvise. Poppity is welsh for oven, and ping is the noise your microwave makes when it finishes the cooking cycle. So poppity ping, or oven that goes ping.

Brilliant!Given that I am a dab hand with a microwave,I suspected something of the sort,however its a good example of improvisation.Are there any other similar examples?

I'll ask my grandchildren and let you know. They speak fluent welsh.. but an example is tyre. No word in welsh for it so they say teer. Thats how they pronounce it not spell it. battery. They say batriss. Again the way its pronounced not spelt. They use an english word and give it a welsh sound.
