Contributor's comments: Little Boys are also the NSW term for cocktail franks - when we moved to Qld and had to call them Cheerios we were most confused. Now because our children were born in Qld and now live in NSW they are the ones out of step and think we are really rude calling the franks "Little Boys".
Contributor's comments: Little boys are known as 'cheerios' in Qld.
Contributor's comments: 'Little boys' is wordmapped as Victorian. I encountered a further regional use of this term in the Redcliffe peninsula area of the Brisbane region. My daughter attended the Humpybong Primary School (real name - the BeeGees attended it also) for a few weeks in the late 1970s. I was utterly amazed to find, listed on the canteen menu,'battered little boys'. Of course they battered everything in Queensland in those days.
