The Hillbilly Dictionary: Backwoods Lingo Straight from the Holler, by Grandpa RipleyEver felt like the English language done lost its backbone somewhere ‘twixt the skyscrapers and the suburbs? Well, pull up a stump and listen up, ’cause Grandpa Ripley— that weather-beaten sage with a chew of Red Man and a lifetime of ridge-runnin’ under his galluses— is fixin’ to set it right with The Hillbilly Dictionary.
This here’s a straight-shootin’ guide to the raw, rambunctious tongue of the Appalachians, penned by a feller who knows the value of a well-timed spit and the peril of a loose lip. No high-falutin’ footnotes or city-slicker edits; just pure, unadulterated mountain mouth music that captures the spirit of folks who wrangle with the land and laugh in the face of fancy.
It’s the perfect companion for outlanders aimin’ to blend in at the barn dance, kinfolk dustin’ off their drawl, or any soul hankerin’ for words that bite back. As Grandpa mutters over his black coffee: “Words ain’t for showin’ off—they’re for survivin’ the storm.”
Snag this sassy little volume and start slingin’ slang like a pro. In a world gone soft, it’s a reminder that the best talk comes from the gut, the grit, and the good Lord above. Hot diggity! Free on Kindle.
