Description
We Dictionary of American Regional English fans who've been hemmed in by the Hs for too long can celebrate; Volume III has arrived. Finally one can troll I-O, collecting gems like jug-handle, kyoodle, lip battle, meech, numpy, and ouchy (treat unfairly, mutt, argument, cringe, dolt, and irritable) along the way. String them together they become: "If you jug-handle that kyoodle and make him meech, you ouchy numpy, we're bound for a real lip battle." It makes a jim-dandy of an American English sentence.
