Calling anyone from the Mississippi Delta!

[sheath]

HELLO! This is a call for help! I need to find a few people from the Delta region, preferably Mississippi. I need to conduct interviews concerning landmarks and such for a new series I am working on.

Sorry, I can't help you except that my posting will bump this thread up.

I think it's important that you know that everytime I see your screen name, I'm going to think 'smegma'. This is not a good thing.

Not to be rude, but....

What makes you think there's anyone in the Mississippi Delta that can read?

'smegma'

What?

 

[sheath]

That's what I'M wondering.

 

[Lasher]

Smegma is one of the greek letters.

We had a fraternity at my college called Smegma Chi.

And then there was a sorority called Ieta Smegma. Seems the had a thing for the male foreign students. *shrug*

William Faulkner.

Among many other Delta writers. Or don't they cover that kind of reading in the Pittsburgh schools?

Dunno. Never been in a Pittsburgh school.

Someone doesn't get a funny when he sees it, does he?

Nah. I got it fine. Given the writing tradition in the Delta, I found someone having that stereotype to be amusing... ever spent much time there?

Ahhhh, yeh. I'm sitting here with a big 'ol plate of crawdaddies right now.

A genuine crawdaddie boil is one of life's great pleasures, though it's more of a Louisiana thing. Squeeze the tails, suck the heads, and slam the beer...

Main Entry: smeg.ma
Pronunciation: 'smeg-m&
Function: noun
Etymology: New Latin, from Latin, detergent, soap, from Greek smEgma, from smEchein to wash off, clean
Date: circa 1819
: the secretion of a sebaceous gland; specifically : the cheesy sebaceous matter that collects between the glans penis and the foreskin or around the clitoris and labia minora

Every spring, I used to have to clean my gelding's sheath because smegma collects in there and can cause all sorts of health issues. One reason I now own mares. The word sheath is never going to be one I associate with anything remotely pleasant.
