Ferguson said it was used for catching living creatures.

jodies - small versions of almost anything, including food. As opposed to "big mammy jammy."

muddler - small rod for bruising mint leaves or stirring the mint julep. "Also a person who's a pain in the neck."

She didn't mention coffee - just that the ham was supposed to have some bone, and that when you pour off the fat from the gravy, the remaining residue is a bit red.

signify - Quote: "When a soulful person gets a roll going, they don't avow or state or proclaim; they just tell it like it is and that's called signifying."

And I forgot one - greeze. "'Let's greeze' means 'C'mon everybody, let's eat!'"
