Originally from Scots but also in Geordie. Possibly derived from 'loanin' which might have had to do with an old system for loaning plots of land, or perhaps "a sheltered place where cows were gathered for milking". I think we need some further input on this before we can be definitive.. To the contributor it meant a shortcut that was usually grassy and covered in dog poo, often an old railway line or grassy lane that you'd maybe use as a shortcut to get to school. (ed: on the other hand... Burno tells us that in Georgie, 'Lonnen' just means a lane. Seems there's a road called 'Lonnen' in a town local to him... but he didn't say which one)
(ed: This is a list of some of the peculiarites of the English language. We'd appreciate any additions people can provide, or anything in a similar vein!

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn't a race at all). That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. Can you spell Potato: If GH can stand for P as in Hiccough If OUGH stands for O as in Dough If PHTH stands for T as in Phthisis If EIGH stands for A as in Neighbour If TTE stands for T as in Gazette If EAU stands for O as in Plateau Then the right way to spell POTATO should be: GHOUGHPHTHEIGHTTEEAU The 'word' g-h-o-t-i can be pronounced in either of two ways--either: (1) : "gh" as in tough, "o" as in women, "ti" as in action; or (2) (that is, completely silently): "gh" as in weigh, "o" as in famous, "t" as in filet, "i" as in friend.(ed: this does spell fish - doesn't it?)
