Re: Hushpuppies - was Ahem! (blush)
>"The Late Unpleasantness" is, of course, not the only expression for that
event. In some parts of the South it is called simply "The Waah." [That
is the best spelling I can provide for the expression. To some
contemporaries and even later historians it was known as "The War for
Southern Independence."
I prefer "The Late Unpleasantness."
