The Grand -- If you cut me, I would shine. - the conversation i was having in my head

Mountaineer Talk

Ain't nobody ever told me they got them a different kinda talking down in those mountain parts....
here's a few a them phrases I picked up on my trip to North Carolina:

Bile--boil. "The woman had to bile water for the coffee."
Sho' Nuff--for real. "Did she really do it? She sho'nuff did!"
Hail---where the devil lives.
Mow---As in another helping. "Gimme some mow of these beans."
