Great Wooded South Lexicon X: Travel perils Travel for erudite Kentuckians can be stressful when venturing among the unwashed, linguistically challenged, as Bradfordsvillians found when they ventured into far off Minnesota (more properly mumbled Minnansoda) and couldn't even get the answer to the most important question about breakfast. Previous Lexicon: Great Wooded South Lexicon IX: Bible says Words hold power of life and death Next Lexicon: Great Wooded South Lexicon XI: Properly mumbling Kentuckyese By Billy Joe Fudge, Retired Forester Kentucky Division of Forestry Hopefully the Great Wooded South Lexicon can not only help those from off who have graced our shores, so to speak, but also can be of assistance for all of our own citizens traveling abroad in this great nation and thus help to avoid situations such as the following. A friend of mine in Bradfordsville, located in Eastern Marion County right in the middle of the Muldraugh Knobs which is on the northern fringe of the Great Wooded South, relayed a story about a gentleman who rode shotgun for a man hauling cattle to the far off land of Minnesota. This old gentleman inadvertently caused a scene just trying to ask a really nice waitress if the gravy was any count. The waitress kept telling him how many biscuits and how many halves there would be with his order. The old gentleman understood that he might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but he certainly knew that when you halve two biscuits you end up with four halves. Fortunately, the truck driver acted as an interpreter in order to keep a lid on the situation.
