Title: Mountain-ese
Description: ""Mountain-ese" is a glossary of words and phrases, used extensively by mountain and country folk, mainly in the rural sections of America called Appalachia. These terms fall chiefly into three categories: words and phrases that are grossly and continuously mispronounced from gereration to generation, verbs that are used as nouns or nouns and adjectives used as verbs, and words or phrases that have been coined and used repeatedly by mountain people, with little or no relation to authentic definitions."--Preface
