GUEST,McLeod	Folklore: favorite southern US expression (266* d)	RE: Folklore: favorite southern US expression	17 Feb 03
My mother's family is McLeod - my father is Robertson, so I have a double dose of Scot The family has been in Florida since the 1700's (the McLeods came from Southern Georgia - the Robertsons from Kentucky) My Aunt Ruth(McLeod) said "holp", as in "Can you holp me with this bucket" I have heard older relatives say something was "riupar" for right up there; and "can you reach me that jar". Daddy never cursed. His "that son of a pup" told us clearly what he thought. Everyone in the family knows when its "fixin'" to rain, and can say "Ah'mona" git to th' house. My sister Bea laid one on me that I did not remember ever hearing. We were talking about time frame and she said "We'll be done eat by then". Talk about jaw drop!!!
