Thread Name: BS: British/American cultural differences.
Subject: RE: BS: British/American cultural differences.
I have a hard cover book of 341 pages on the subject of MAINE LINGO. It contains such words as, Dido. to cut up a dido, is to do something unacceptable. Savagrus..very tough, or as in a hard winter. Fetch a larrup..to move suddenly, out of control. A hogshead.. large barrel which holds 17 1/2 bushels. A foul bight is a poor harbor. Had enough?
