Podunk
I used to think that I lived in podunk ville, especially when I was in Wilmer. And I guess I actually did live more in podunk there than the other places because I found out today that podunk comes from an Indian word meaning "cornfield". I am investigating this matter. I always thought that podunk just meant in the country but apparently it means in the cornfield.

Got a good one for you!
Watching a movie last night based in Texas in the 50s - a guy tells another guy to "Chunk the handle back". As in pull the handle. I haven't heard that one in ages! Goes right along with "Mash the door shut."
I pass them to you as I find them!
