Is it Draw, or Drawer.

[49greg]

In many of the stories I've read here I've seen the word "draw" used to describe the box like thing that is used to contain clothes (not cloths) in a chest of ... drawers.

Is it a regional thing or just bad spelling? Is a drawer really called a 'draw' in some areas?

For me 'draw' is a verb.

Drawer

I reached into the nightstand drawer and removed......

"draw" is just a bad spelling. That it's a "chest of drawers" should be all the clue anyone would need.

For me 'draw' is a verb.

It's a verb when referring to making an image,
also when 'I draw my pistol'.

A Drawer is part of a cabinet (with multiple drawers).

Drawer

I reached into the nightstand drawer and removed......

You leaving us hanging like that, LC?

Yep. Ya'll feel free to come down cher and I promise you, ya'll find more than a few-uns that will call it a "draw"

Add and "S" to it and the same word also works for underwear. Come to think of it more than a few people use it to mean pants.

"I's don't know where the hell I dun' left my draws."

So yes it's a regional thing and bad spelling.

And removed the leather flogger.

"W.. what is that?" Rebacca asked her blue eyes wide.

My answer was a nasty smirk and with a practiced flock of my wrist dealt the nightstand a sharp blow.

Please. You're no better you're from Mass

 

[patientlee]

Western!

 

[Swilly]

Western!

A Boston accent with a western drawl? Interesting.: D

 

[patientlee]

If we got LC and MST together, we'd have dueling accents. Something I think is a hoot!

Like in my crazy ass story Wicked Hot.

Amy shivered when the icy blast from the air conditioner hit her wet skin.

"Wow!" Kevin said. "I didn't know camper couches could be so comfy! Ours is like sitting on a milk crate. It's wicked hard."

"Wicked hahd?" Deacon repeated.

"Yeah. Hard. H-A-AH-D. Like hard as a rock?" Kevin explained.

"Oh! You mean hard!" Deacon chuckled. Of course, when Deacon said it, it was a two-syllable word.

"Hah-erd?" Kevin repeated, trying his best to mimic Deacon's drawl with his Boston accent.

"I guess the lady at the winery was right," Amy said with a giggle. "It is like dueling accents in here."

Tina laughed too. "How do you spell that? H-e-e-y-a-h?"

Poking fun at the way the other couple talked and another round of wine broke the ice, and Tina took that opportunity to change the subject. "I know something else that was wicked hahd today," she said coyly, her eyes resting on Amy's breasts.

Was that before or after you dropped your drawers?

The funny part to me would be that most people around here want to know where I'm from.

"Yo's chur don't sound lik yo's from around cher."

To correctly speak this accent you have to draw you top lip up over your teeth and not let it move.

I tend to pick up the accent of what ever writer I'm reading a lot of at the time.

My stepfather grew up "really" county. He sounds like Ernest T. Bass

 

[Hypoxia]

My answer was a nasty smirk and with a practiced flock of my wrist dealt the nightstand a sharp blow.

The funny part is the flocked wrist. Like a flocked Xmas tree, right? Or like the flocking I glued onto my Revell kit model of Perry the squirrel.

Hazard of using my phone.

With a flick of my wrist I extend my middle finger in your general direction.

Would you use a flocked whip at Christmas?

CAVEAT: Looking around virtually everyone says drawer BUT! I found one antique store that lists a chest of drawers with 5 draws. Makes no sense BUT military nomenclature is known to use their own words for common items all others know with different names. Materiel=materials. Mess=dining hall. Dispensary=clinic. Repair=arrive. Latrine=rest room.

So draw may be an archaic word for drawer.

Making progress on DRAW.

No dictionary or etymological source I reviewed made mention of the terrane feature known as a draw. But its an enclosed area surrounded by high perpendicular ground. Think quarry. Draw also refers to drawer handles or pulls.

And she will be doing this while running you over in her Caa.

 

[lovecraft68]

Of course, a red and green one with tinsel woven into it as well

And little bells so she can hear it coming

 

[lovecraft68]

I keep them on and just unzip I like the danger the open zipper presents.
