1) What is a slop jar? (10 points) "Slop Jar" is the common name for the small bucket like pot that usually sat under the bed for those middle of the night bathroom calls. It would be emptied and washed every morning, and most often, it had a lid. Most people did not want to go outside to the outhouse in the middle of the night, especially if it was cold or raining. Many of the more affluent people owned really nice ones like porcelain covered metal decorated with floral designs. These type are quite collectable now and can bring BIG $bucks$!Coosa, a bowl/pot/bucket used for spitting either snuff or tobacco in, we called it a spittoon.2) If you are "bush trained" or "bush broke"what does that mean? 15 points) This usually doesn't apply to males for obvious reasons. If a female is "bush trained or "bush broke" it simply means they are able to go to the restroom in the woods (bushes) without making a splashing mess all over their shoes!3) What is a "Pulpwood Biscuit"? (20 points) At break times, this tasty item usually goes with an ice cold RC Cola in the summer or a cup of coffee in the winter! It's a term used for a Honey Bun. Kind of like a dessert after you've had a 'painter's steak' sandwich!(bologna)4) What do you use Renet tablets for? (55 points!) Sorry, but I miss spelled it - it has 2 n's instead of 1 -ReNNet I KNEW I'd stump you on this one! Rennet tablets are the tablets used to mix into fresh milk (Either from cow or goat) that causes the milk to clabber. All the solids separate from the whey, giving you your starter for fresh home made cheese!biology.clc.uc.edu/fankhauser/Cheese/Cheese_5_gallons/CHEESE_5gal_00.htm

Sorry taylor, but she kept it near the bed and it was a bowl that she spit snuff in and she called it "slop pot" My grandma was born in about 1870.

Thanks Taylor. You've been "exalted". By the way, I always thought the slop jar was the thing kept under the bed too.

Thank you for the exalts!
QueenBee - I kinda thought that same thing! LOL!
It's kinda like the way some people say pa'cahn, some say pee-cahn and some say pee-can! (pecan)Have you seen the dairy queen commercial? Also, care-a-bee-in or ker-rib-ee-an (caribbean), or care-a-mel or car-mul(caramel). Funny how language carries such a different tune in different places!
My name is Scooter, and I'm a word-a-holic.........
