What does Doss really mean?

Alright, so "doss" is a word that can mean a few different things, depending on the context it's used in.

In one sense, "doss" can mean sleeping or resting in a rough or makeshift way. It's like when you go camping and have to "doss" down in a sleeping bag on the ground, or when you're traveling and have to "doss" in a hotel with not so comfy beds. It's that kind of temporary, not-so-comfy sleeping situation.

But "doss" can also be used as a slang term for a place where someone lives or stays, especially if it's a bit dodgy or run-down. So you might hear someone say "I found myself a doss" when they're talking about finding a not-so-great place to live or crash for a while.

So, all in all, "doss" can refer to kind of rough or makeshift sleeping or resting, or it can be used to talk about a not-so-great place to stay. It's a pretty versatile word that can pop up in all sorts of situations.

But I hope that makes sense! If not, feel free to ask me any questions and I'd be happy to help clear things up for you.
