Answers to Question 1
My good ole blogger buddy ER has asked for a little help. I kinda figure he already knowd the answers but heck he's helping me keep this cheer blog up and running. And I shore do thank 'im. Also, I like to say a big howdy out to Hen House. Stop by her hen house when ya get a chain sah. Thanks for stopping by, grab you a glass of tea and sit for a spell with us.
He's asked what is "haint" except a funny way of saying "ain't". My answer is that "haint" has been used to describe a little bug but not necessarily an ant. However I figure that is how that durn haint came into being. Some ole suthern heard an ole Yankee talking about an ant and thought, "He must be talking about a haint."
Now let's also remember that haint no telling. Haint could synoneemus wif ain't. Maybe one yall know better than me. If so we loved to learn from ya.
