Thing you were supposed to get when you had shamed yourself in some way. As in “Get your dubbins” or the sing-song version “get your dubbins, fresh from the Daily Ma-il!”
A West Country version of “gutted”. West Country viewers, if you know what a dubbin is and why you get them from the Daily Mail, write in.

Also “Bunnage” - as in “Ahhhh, feel the bunnage.”
Can be accompanied with a shaking finger to increase the shame.

Actually, a dubbins is an old term for a wank used by prozzies in days gone by. As in, “It’s a shilling for a dubbins, half a crown for a suck and a sovereign for all the way.”
