@appalachian.sam: In the Appalachian Mountains, folks have a really special-sounding accent and an equally special dialect. I love all the words and phrases I heard while growing up here. One of the interesting things is that even people within the mountains can have slightly different words and unique names for common, everyday things. This is a good example. I never heard an extension cord called this while I was growing up, but I’ve had lots of messages from other folks who said they did. #appalachiandialect
