Mel, I love it. The grammar bitch. That is priceless. My dad was so strict about us using proper grammar. If you said ain't you were in trouble. People will say "ain't got no." It drives me crazy. I'm with you. Mousey you have so many post you must not have anything to do so come to Texas & help me cook. We are mouse friendly here.

I just thought of this one. Little granny use to say "askerred" to mean frighten or afraid. Lord, she was country.

My friend's father, growing up used to say chimley. Is your hubby from the Hudson Valley? I haven't heard that word in 40 years!

Dh's secretary always said that. It drove him crazy.
