Mayhap yes, and mayhap no...Mark-slick-as-the-wind-Bailey?Iffen they caught him.
I 'spect you may be talkin' 'bout Appalachian specifically. Fur as I know you don't never hear catched or cotched down in the Deep (off'n them thar maunt'ns.)Mayhap yes, and mayhap no...Mark-slick-as-the-wind-Bailey?Iffen they caught him.
I'd like some feedback from one or all y'all genuine Southerners on the correct form of caught for "iffen they caught him". One grandma occasionally used the past tense cotched. (None of my other relatives ever said this, even though my rather small family is thinly spread from sea to shining sea.) What etymologies I can find do not fit her rural German-Nebraskan heritage.
What is the correct Southernism for 'caught', in the context of varmint-killin' shotgun polishers? And any other 'cotcheds' out there?
You follow the "Three S's"--Shoot it, Shovel it, and Shut up.Mark-slick-as-the-wind-Bailey?Iffen they caught him.
I think this entire thread has been drifting. lolOk, only a little thread drift here...
That is tooo funny!!!Aw, and I wish her the best and a speedy recovery! I know exactly what you mean about that eye. My daughter and I joke about it saying, "Is she giving you the blue eye or the brown one?"I have a three year old that has a blue left eye. Her momma is a red and her papa was a double dapple with two blue eyes and is deaf as a log. She has spots down her back all the way to the tip of her tail. Other than that, she is all red. She has two different colors of blue in that eye, all being full rings around her pupil. All of her emotions and feeling can be read in that one eye. It's almost human like. I swear it glows in the dark. She is battling breast cancer right now. She goes in for tumor removal next Tuesday. Poor little girl. She is my child-for I have none of my own. Yours is beautiful.Yes, she does. And I have her Dad who also has 1 blue eye.

Is this joke funny in Dayton?Guns don't kill people, people kill people, and monkeys do too (brackets) if they have a gun (close brackets).
