Word Delicacies
Some words from the dictionary of my province.
BALLYCATTER-ice hanging over the shore when the tide goes out,
BRAZEN-Bold or without shame (that youngster is brazen)
GIDDY-Dizzy
GRAPNEL-A type of boat anchor
PUNT-Long narrow flat bottom boat much like the Cajun pero.
To many Mainlanders (From anywhere but NFLD)they have a hard time understanding the dialect as many people speak very quickly as well as different words coming from a mix of Irish and Scottish with English and a touch of French.
