Abstract

This collection contains various photocopies of scrapbooks using Eastern Shore slang or as the compiler Hazel A. Garland refers to them, "Eastern Shore-isms." Examples include: "I just thought I'd double ask you," "Don't worry about them plants: after they're in the ground, they'll soon health up", and "Well, I hope to my die!" All of these colloquial uses are within these photocopied scraps of material. Garland claims that many of these are malapropisms and mistranslation of Old English phrases.
