| Publisher Description: Ayuh, the language of Maine is more than just an accent and few catch phrases like "You can't get there from here." We reckon, it is all that, but it also features idioms, words, sayings, and stories birthed in the sometimes harsh environment and hardscrabble living conditions or that harken to words rooted in the home countries of immigrants but adapted over time to become Maine. This book looks at it all from the wicked funny to the serious to the stories told at lumber camps and fish wharfs. It's perfect for native Mainers as well as those from away to not only laugh, but learn at least a tad about Maine culture and heritage. |
