The way we spoke
#24
Although I haven't heard the term "galluses" in a long time, my parents and grandparents used it regularly.

Hain't and nary are straight from 16th century Elizabethean English!! Poke could be either a brown paper bag or greens that mom would prepare. Harlan County even has a Poke Sallet Festival. And it isn't salad; it's sallet!

Rather than davenport, we had a davenet. LOL

Ever hear corn on the cob referred to as roshinears? Or collect fodder? Or smoke corn silks?

As far as pop bottles are concerned, my husband and I lived in a trailer for the first year of our marriage. The fridgidares in those trailers were pint sized. Every now and then, K-Mart would put their two liter cokes on sale, and I would get a dozen or so. They were a little tall for the fridge, but if you tilted the bottle it would fit on the first shelf. So that's what I did. One day, I went to pull out a small drawer that was located under the freezer portion and it tipped that two liter glass bottle, which fell cap first onto the toe next to my big toe. It completely shattered the first joint and the nail of that toe. I bet it weighed 20 lbs!! LOL To this day, my toe is deformed and the nail is thicker than any other nail on my feet. And no, it isn't from fungus!
