Going back a bit

The other day we talked about "hollering".

Some of y'all may be tempted to think it is somethin' you do when you git in an argument with ch'a wife or girlfriend. And I guess you could use it that way. Like "there was a lot of hoopin' and hollerin' going on with them last night." But I was thanking of a little somethin' else.

Holler- v: To talk to someone usually followed by at ch'a later. So when two people close a conversation (either on the phone or in person), they will say I'll holler at ch'a later. It just means they are saying good bye and see you later ( in the standard vernacular)

Holler-n: A place in between a hill. Like in Mississippi, there are a lot of hills and hollers.
