(UK, slang, humorous, obsolete) A ditch.
An obsolete British humorous slang term for a ditch, playing on the fact that in Essex — a largely flat, low-lying county in eastern England — ditches served the practical drainage purpose that stiles (steps over fences or hedges) served in hillier terrain. The joke being that Essex lacked the elevated ground to need a proper stile. Primarily of interest to historians of English regional slang and humour. Has no meaningful presence in contemporary speech.
(internet slang, affectionate) A woman or person with feminine traits.
