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."

Regards,
Bill
