Word: Tobacco Road Part of Speech: name Etymology: There were and are many roads of this name in the American South. The meanings are derived from the 1932 novel, Tobacco Road, by Erskine Caldwell and the 1933 play and 1941 movie derived from it. Caldwell does not use the term "Tobacco Road" to refer to the region or place, only to the roads themselves. According to Caldwell, the roads were created by rolling thousands of tobacco casks over them, over many decades. In the Savannah Valley of 1932 there were "scores" of these roads, ranging up to 30 miles in length. The casks were known as hogsheads, were roughly 48 inches by 36 inches and weighed about 1000 pounds once filled with leaves. 1. A dirt road, created by the passage of thousands of tobacco casks being rolled, mainly by people or mules, from plantations to river steamboats or trucks. 2. A region of North Carolina historically associated with the production of tobacco. 3. The four North Carolina schools in the Atlantic Coast Conference of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Labels: slang 4. A fictional place in the rural American South inhabited by poor and uneducated people who live in dilapidated structures.

Maybe the roof is corrugated tin, but one wall is made from a billboard and the doorstep is a cinder block. Example: All in all, the scene was one of an ethereal Tobacco Road West.

Word: redargue Part of Speech: verb Etymology: From Late Middle English redarguen, redargue (“to defeat (someone) in an argument; to rebuke, reprove”), from Middle French redarguer and Old French redargüer (“to disprove, refute; to accuse, blame; to rebuke, reprove”) (modern French rédarguer), and from their etymon Latin redarguere (“to disprove, refute”) (compare Late Latin redarguere (“to rebuke, reprove”)), the present active infinitive of redarguō (“to disprove, refute; to contradict”), from red- (a variant of re- (prefix meaning ‘again’)) + arguō (“to assert, declare; to clarify, make plain; to prove, show; to accuse, charge with; to censure, rebuke, reprove; to blame; to denounce as false”) (possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂erǵ- (“argent, white; glittering”), in the sense of casting light on something to make it clear).

Word: callosities Part of Speech: noun 1. plural of callosity Labels: form-of, plural
Word: if you please Part of Speech: phrase Etymology: The construction is unusual since the infinitive to please originally meant only “to satisfy”, not “to be satisfied”. One solution entails interpreting you as an object pronoun and please as a verb in the third-person singular subjunctive, such that if you please actually meant if it may please you. The according constructions if thee please, if him please, if them please, etc., are indeed attestable. However, if this approach is correct, the reinterpretation of the pronoun as the subject of the phrase must be very old as we also find if thou please and so on. A second hypothesis construes "if you please" as an intransitive, ergative form taken from if it pleases you which is a calque of French s'il vous plaît. Alternatively, if you please may be a bastardization of if you'd please, which is an abbreviation of if you would please be so kind, wherein please constitutes an adverb, not a verb. 1. Please. Labels: dated, formal Example: 1906, Edith Nesbit, The Railway Children, Chapter 4: The engine-burglar, The engine-driver and fireman did not see her. They were leaning out on the other side, telling the Porter a tale about a dog and a leg of mutton. "If you please," said Roberta--but the engine was blowing off steam and no one heard her. "If you please, Mr. Engineer," she spoke a little louder, but the Engine happened to speak at the same moment, and of course Roberta's soft little voice hadn't a chance. 2. Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see if, you, please. Example: Say you ſo, Sir, why then you are oblig’d to me for telling your fortune beforehand; you may avoid it if you pleaſe; I have giv’n you warning. Example: I will, if you please, go and see him to-day. And I will ask him to call upon you to-morrow morning.
