Just wanted to add a few words our neighbor uses to the the egg corn database:
(none of these are in print as far as I know…we just have heard him use them in conversation)
inspecticide- used to treat his roses when they have pests
a Rock Welder dog- the big black and brown dog that scares the heck out of all of us in the nieghborhood
The Muffets- those cute little guys on Sesame Street
Thanks for this. It gives a name to something that puzzled us.
