"The devil beating his wife for a clean shirt" meant THUNDER in my part of WVa and coke meant Coke, pop was the rest of those carbonated beverages although 'soda' is the older name (from 'soda water' which was dispensed by the soda jerk at from the soda fountain) and 'pop' came from the sound removing the top made after carbonated beverages began to be bottled............When Tennessee Ernie Ford said "Bless yer little pea pickin' heart" on TV we thought he was saying something nice. Buggies might convey infants, groceries or be pulled by a horse.

Add to the quiz: What is the name of the paper receptacle that stores used to supply for your purchases? Sack, bag or poke?
