grandma. Two humorous stories from the Ozarks: To grandma there means “to cut down and steal timber from someone else’s property,” perhaps because an anonymous thief who stole timber explained that he got it from his “grandma’s” place. Another the- ory has this unusual word deriving from an old story or joke about a man accused of stealing another’s timber and finally ad- mitting that “Grandmaw might have taken a few sticks.” |
