Subject: Re: Risin' = boil (n.)



I can offer only a family usage citation for 'risin'' used for 'boil'.

I've heard it so often that I assumed it hadn't fully entered archailand.

I think I'd use it with family members of my generation and uncles/aunts,

and maybe with younger members of the extended family, but it has enough

of an archaism flavor that I doubt I'd use it with people I don't know well

unless they seem to have a rural background.
