> yeller - yellow, a color between orange and green on the solar spectrum
> dawg - dog, animal sometimes kept for a pet

Thanks. It'll make things easier next time I visit my Kentucky relatives.

My real name is Julia, and they call me Joo-yah there. I always chuckle when I hear it that way, and my relatives wonder what I'm laughing about.

Qua "There, you made me reveal my real name. Happy?" rtz
