Subject: Re: thanx for pignuts



Greg, what does it mean for an item to "sound regional"?

What I meant was, that <pignuts> sounded/appeared/seemed upon hearing it

from my father to be a likely regionalism, especially given that I had never

heard/seen/come across it before and that my dad and I grew up in different

parts of the USA and therefore use different regional items. Does this

make sense?  Nevertheless, I should have checked it out myself before

posting the list about it--again, my apologies.
