APPALACHIAN DICTIONARY Folks born and reared in Appalachian towns have a unique language all their own.Not much will raise northern eyebrows faster than a bit of Appalachian slang interrupting a conversation. It makes no real sense to apply grammar rules when conversing with Appalachians. I have always applied the rule that Appalachians tend to say what we think and mean what we say. So, with that, here are the most often used words and their meanings used by Appalachians when I was growing up in a small Kentucky town, and a lot of old timers continue to use them to this day. APPALACHIAN EUPHEMISMS A fellow once said that "euphemisms and sayings are unpleasant truths wearing diplomatic cologne." In the world outside of small towns most will agree that certain euphemisms can be a bit on the direct side and can sometime be misleading. For example, in the big city "revenue enhancement" can be a sneaky way of saying "tax increase," and "downsizing" is a bureaucratic way for "firing employees." It's not like that in a small town where everybody knows your name and all your relatives and all the family secrets. Appalachians prefer to be a bit more direct so there is no question about what they are saying and what they mean. So, with that, you can make your own determination as to what you say and what you mean. APPALACHIAN SAYINGS Sayings come as natural to Appalachians as the sun coming up, and, about as often. Most sayings like the ones here start in Appalachia and rapidly move across the world. Nothing can be as truthful and righteous as when they are aimed at politicians and bureaucrats. Just saying. BONUS SECTIONAPPALACHIAN MEMORIES Just close your eyes and go back in time before the internet, before cable television, cell phones, electronic games.Now, Remember When .... we played hide 'n seek at dusk, red light, green light, and then running to the grocery store to get a Moon Pie and a cold RC Cola.

During the crisis of the Second World War in Britain, official Air Raid Precautions made the management of daily life a moral obligation of civil defence by introducing new prescriptions for the care of homes, animals, and persons displaced through evacuation. This book examines how the Mass-Observation movement recorded and shaped the logics of care that became central to those daily routines in homes and neighbourhoods. Kimberly Mair looks at how government publicity campaigns communicated new instructions for care formally, while the circulation of wartime rumours negotiated these instructions informally. These rumours, she argues, explicitly repudiated the improper socialization of evacuees and also produced a salient, but contested, image of the host as a good wartime citizen who was impervious to the cultural invasion of the ostensibly 'animalistic', dirty, and destructive house guest. Mair also considers the explicit contestations over the value of the lives of pets, conceived as animals who do not work with animal caregivers whose use of limited provisions or personal sacrifice could then be judged in the context of wartime hardship. Together, formal and informal instructions for caregiving reshaped everyday habits in the war years to an idealized template of the good citizen committed to the war and nation, with Mass-Observation enacting a watchful form of care by surveilling civilian feeling and habit in the process.

This book is the first comprehensive, research-based description of the development, structure, and use of Welsh English, a contact-induced variety of English spoken in the British Isles.Present-day accents and dialects of Welsh English are the combined outcome of historical language shift from Welsh to English, continued bilingualism, intense contacts between Wales and England, and multicultural immigration. As a result, Welsh English is a distinctive, regionally and sociolinguistically diverse variety, whose status is not easily categorized.In addition to existing research, the present volume utilizes a wide range of spoken corpus data gathered from across Wales in order to describe the phonology, lexis, and grammar of the variety. It includes discussion of sociolinguistic and cultural contexts, and of ongoing change in Welsh English. The place that Welsh English occupies in relation to other Englishes in the Inner and Outer Circles is also analysed.The book is accessible to the non-specialist, but of particular use to scholars, teachers, and students interested in English in Wales, Britain, and the world. It provides an unparelleled resource on this long-standing and vibrant variety.
