mf's name is Bubby.
I mean he's got a mullet. Just be glad it's not Billy-Bob
it is. mamma calls them 'bubby' because using their real name would create extra confusion at dinnertime.
My sister calls my nephew Bubba
I knew a Bubba. Legal first name.
He had a rat tail, of course.
Went to play at his house one day (fourth grade), and it was a typical suburban house. I rode past it on my bike to get to school.
Not a hint of white-trash about the situation.
It still perplexes me.
I notice people of certain age groups were fine with names like that, even though they seem like rather unfortunate names, especially as a given name rather than a nickname.
A coworker of mine has a grandson, "Butch". Kids always getting into trouble, though.
That is a sweet sentiment.
He saw someone he loves stand up to fear and fight back against the night. Makes sense why his hero is his Mamaw.
I want that shirt
I want that barber
I want the full song!
My country and western writing skills are rusty, but here's a little something in 3/4 time.
On the porch after dark,
We had been marked,
And a thief crept through the night.
Mawmaw heard a noise,
Said "Stay behind me boys",
And grabbed a roman candle to light,
She flung open the door,
In her night gown and swore,
At the man who was stealing our tires
She puffed a Virginia slim,
Pointed fireworks at him,
And then proceeded to open fire.
Mawmaw you are my hero,
You ran him off and he's gone without a trace,
If he hadn't turned and fled, he'd be better off dead,
'cause you'd have burned off his face.
He's got good taste
Wonder what his go-to beer is, and if he’s a wintergreen man
Probably Hamm's
That's a hero alright.
That kid's mamaw sounds bad ass
Memaw mishears you…
Lights Roman candle
Is a porch thief like a porch pirate? The dudes who steal your deliveries?
Not quite- in Appalachia, most homes have a porch. Appalachia is, generally speaking, quite a muggy place, so most people sleep inside and then spend their time outside on the porch. The porch plays the same role as a living room or den in other parts of the US.
A porch thief is basically the same as any other burglar, but they will (almost) exclusively steal from porches because it is often less risky than stealing from the rest of the house.
Because of the important role of a porch as a primary living area, porch thieves can make off with family heirlooms, money, games, furniture, children's toys, and even TV sets.
