What does "Pure-D" mean? Anyone??
Several people suggested it might mean "pretty". No, it is used in the sense of "absolutely" or "totally", or "very much". For instance, "I am pure-D expecting to win". Or, "I am pure-D angry with him." Keep on suggesting . (:-) Thanks, Nancree > Mr.AoSD wrote: > > "Yes.

(:-) But it's not uncommon for people to say "I am pretty sure" or, "That's pretty much what he said", or "That's a pretty big helping you've got there !" All of those meaning, to some degree, 'very' ... although it's just a filler word meaning nothing really, as it's the word following "pretty" that holds the key. Same with Pure-D ? ie: take away the "pretty" or the "Pure-D" and you get: "I am expecting to win". "I am angry with him." "I am sure" "That's what he said" "That's a big helping you've got there !" |

What does "Pure-D" mean? Anyone??
It's a reference to a quality rating for so-called
"invert" sugar. The best stuff is almost pure d-glucose, hence it is called "pure d". The lowest quality is a 50/50 mixture of d-glucose and l-fructose, d and l referring to the direction that they rotate polarized light. (Not to be confused with D and L, which refer to derivation from D- and L-glyceraldehyde. :-) |

Jumping in a bit late in the thread, but I think this is usually associated with a southern vernacular and if it is, "pretty" was corrupted to "purdy" or "pur-dee" and consequently, "pure D." Maybe, maybe not. jim |

Pure is pronounced pyur and that's why the rest of us didn't understand. Why spell it with an e when pur would make more sense? Pur-t. > i grew up in the southeastern us aka > redneck country and heard it quite often then. i don't hear it much anymore. > tv and radio are slowly homogenizing america. > You can talk that way among friends (if you are conversant in standard English too), but it's not okay when NYC advertisers pander to the public by using nonstandard, regional English.

To me, pure-d means completely or totally and "purty" or pretty means somewhat. Calling a meal "pretty good" and calling it "pure-d good" are two very different things.

Apparently so, if you're South o' the Mason Dixon line. So, pure-d probably means purely delicious. Practice safe eating - always use condiments |
