Today's phrase is.....
Pert Near (purt nir) adv : Slightly short of; not
quite; nearly; almost; just about. Derived from the English words
Pretty and Near. "I pert near lost my mind ahunting fer that durn
cache." or "Mark Case has pert near caught up to me in cache finds,
I better get a move on!"
The great thing about geocaching is that not only is it fun, but
it can also be educational! As a service to our yankee friends who
are transplanted here or who are just passing through, I bring you
the Country Grammar series. Each cache in this series will present
a new word from the Southernese language. For extra credit, try to
work the word into your log entry. If you run into a muggle while
at this cache, use the words you learn here and they will think you
are one of them. The only way to become fluent is to put these
words to use!
You're looking for a pill bottle, so bring your own pen. Use
your own geocaching common sense at all times.
