Milkie carries a few distinct meanings depending on context. In British slang, it's a familiar, affectionate nickname for the milkman — the early-morning doorstep deliveryman of British suburban legend. Among children, it refers to an opaque white marble prized in playground games for its creamy appearance. The term also crops up as a casual, informal word for a woman's breast. Across all uses, the word keeps a soft, playful quality that matches its milky connotations.
The milkie used to leave two pints of semi-skimmed on our step every morning without fail.
