General
whose coat is that jacket
What does whose coat is that jacket mean?
The famously daft Welshism trotted out at last orders when everyone's grabbing their stuff off the back of a chair. It's just asking 'whose coat is this?' — the 'that jacket' bit is the same garment said twice. Often used self-mockingly by the Welsh themselves, and impersonated (usually badly) by the English doing a stereotype valleys accent.
"Right, time to head — whose coat is that jacket then?"
