phrases appearing in southern dialects.
Wilson is preparing a l>lilerl Dietion

for the American Dialect Society.
The majority of the words appearing
in Dr. Ilayes' list comes from dialects
in North Carolina, especially the west

words were found here in Guilford
college. For example, "crawly" means
infested with bugs—"This time o' year
all meal's crawly," and "hardness"
means breach of concord--"There ought
lo be no hardness between neighbors."
Did you know that "mule-horse" is a
term used by horse traders when speak
ing of a horse with the intelligence of
a mule? "Starvation grass" is a thin
stemmed weed. One man said of it,
"Tain't no good for nothin' and nothin'
won't eat it."
In the western part of North Caro
lina it is common among the unedu
cated to use two synonymous adjec
tives such as "a small little bitty dog"
and "a big fleshy woman." There is
also mi expression "the biggest half."
