> For those of you who want to build your vocabulary so that you can communicate better when you travel, learn these Eastern Kentucky terms:

> yeller - yellow, a color between orange and green on the solar spectrum
> dawg - dog, animal sometimes kept for a pet
> jest - just, I think that's an adverb
> "Hit was jest a little yeller dawg with a spot on hits year."
