Great Wooded South Lexicon XIII


Previous: Great Wooded South Lexicon XII | Next: Great Wooded South Lexicon XIV

By Billy Joe Fudge

Yes, it has been a "spell" (see definition below) since I've updated our GWS Lexicon. However, there has been a "passel" (GWS Lexicon II) of folks move into our area that are having great difficulty understanding us locals and being understood, due to Local Linguistic Cognitive Disorder. LLCD has been studied extensively by Great Wooded South University for the last six decades, and that study continues.
  • Spell - a period of time, usually of moderately short duration

  • Far - combustion which commonly produces heat, light and smoke; terminate one's employment

  • From off - a phrase coined by the late Ed Waggener, meaning, "someone who resides here but was not born or raised here"

  • Mater - a locally grown and vine ripened tomato which must both smell and taste the part, regardless of how it looks
