The rantallions and jobbernowls who let these genuinely delightful words fall out of favor have a lot to answer for!

' why did you come to our county if you dislike it so much?'
" Well, I was trying to get away from all the complaining at home, you understand."
Thunderation is at very least still used by some rural southerners (sample size: my grandparents). It’s a good replacement for Tarnation when you really want to up the ante.
This is super fun. Thank you! I want to bring back smatchet and grumbletonian very much. I shared this post in my weekly roundup of links at Strong Sense of Place. I hope it sends some new subscribers your way! https://strongsenseofplace.com/endnotes/2023/04/07/easter-peeps-and-more-endnotes-07april2023/
Public service like no other! 😂
