Being from West Virginia & of coal mining stock I've been laughed at & of by my fellow soldiers when I left the protected confines of the coal camp & company houses were I was raised.

One of our son in laws is from Kaiser, WV. He sure 'nuff talks funny!

We had a youth get together at our old church several years ago and had some folks come all the way from the same part of WV as the son in law. We happened to mention that they had some "odd" sayings and they laughed.

When I asked what were some of the things that they said back home that they didn't say too much when out of "country", so to speak the top on the list was: "Yuntoo" I asked what that meant and he slowed down and said: "Ya want to?" Then one of the things that they said that I thought was really funny was: "Use ta could" By this time I was rolling on the floor laughing. There were many others but I don't want to bore you.

LAH knows what I am talking about anyway! ;)

Nick, not offended. It just seems to get weary defending something that is widely accepted when the outcome is much more dangerous to you individually. Boolit, schmoolits, doolits, or whatever.

p.s. I do hope counseling helps! ;)
 
I grew up in the Northeastern part of Missouri in a very rural area. When your teachers tell you to sound out a word so you can spell it, I ran into trouble.

I grew up with "HAFTA" instead of "have to" and "ZINK" instead of "sink" ETC, ETC, ETC!!!!!
Then I married a girl from the Pittsburg PA area and tried to figger out what she meant when she asked me to "Rid the table". My first response was that there was nothing wrong with it and we didn't need to throw it out.

When I was in college. In northeastern Missouri. a professor of Sociology told the class that only part of the country spoke like we did and that was a small part of northern Maine. I wore out two Quick Spell books when I was in college.

Since I have a computer "Spell Check" is a very close friend

I don't understand why you think "boolits" means cast bullets? For several hundred years there were only lead bullets. They didn't change the name of cast bullets just because jacketed came along. I've been shooting cast "bullets" a long time but have never thought of them as "boolits". Seems kind of silly to me.

beautiful bullets man.
at first i thought it was a 454424 or a 452423
the 270SAA clone is nice.
i've shot them out of 45 ACP 625 over just under 6 grains of universal clays. that was a stout load.
 
You do realize this is another Zombie thread brought back from the Abyss from 2.5 years ago. Really???

Once again it's slang. And once again, sorry I brought it up. Never dreamed this would stir people so.
 
Boolits shmoolits...lets go shooting!

Funny that the chainsawing would factor in so prominently. I also enjoy running a chainsaw. Ya know, I've always compared shooting to chainsawing - like when you're trying to get your mind focused - cuz when you're doing either one (shooting or chainsawing) your mind can only focus on the ONE thing (or your gonna have an accident).

That's one of the things that I love about shooting and reloading. You are forced to put all the normal, every day garbage out of your head. I find it to be the most relaxation I get (fishing is a close second). No chain saws for me though.:eek:
