I just read thru all this thread. My Dh use to say Turtle Hull but now has stopped after a lot of years. Use to know a guy that ended every sentence with "you mighty right." This one gets me really bad- "Ain't go no" Southerners have a tendency to draw out there words where up northerners they talk faster. But I have found that new englanders talk slower. After 30 years in a flower shop & talking wire orders from all over you can tell where most folks are from. I talked to a lady from Beaufort , SC one time & I like to have never figured out what she was saying. Her draw was really intense. It's funny because Californians can alway tell a Texan. Jeff Foxworthy has a book on funny sayings fro the south. It is hilarious.

Wadding - the first time I saw that - I wondered why in the world would anyone put lumpy stuff in the middle of the quilt sandwich?

Wadded up underwear, the clothes were wadded up in the suitcase - - -

Padding - that one puzzled me, too -

and as far as that goes, I think "batting" sounds odd, too

I say batting because I'm a plain old American hick, but I know what wadding means because I have worldly friends at the QB! :D

I have never heard wadding. I have always said batting. What else do you call it.

It's called wadding here, but I use batting online because that's what everyone else says.

The rolls of 'batting' are even labelled 'wadding' at the store.

I've always called it a buggy! Or a pousse-pousse, even in english, lol.
Baby carriages are called buggys for me too. A baby buggy... I most likely got that from my grandmother, she was born here but her parents were off-the-boat scottish folks, I remember they had heavy accents 60+ years after getting to Canada. I was very young when they died, but I remember them. My grandmother used lots of words that we don't necessarily use here. Potatos were spuds, she didn't go pee she went to piddle, little things like that.

I have never heard anyone ever use that except in a hospital setting.
