Hmm...I always thought juned up was more for playful fun things like a June bug.
Now don't go gettin your panties in a wad, girlie, ain't you never seen a lady get shot before?

LOL...the girl's way of saying the same thing. Remember, this is after the Collapse. Panties are hard to come by.

RE: Memphis slang
Fun Facts to ponder
A. I've never said panties in a wad to anybody--male, female or tweener.
B. No girl or tweener has ever said it to me.
C. Only two boys did, and both automatically went into a a more despicable category of human being.
But ****...sayings endure thousands of years longer than the actual item
referenced.

Fair enough, it's a good point, don't get your panties in a wad. (ducks)
The funny thing is that only one male has had significant input on this book, even though it looks like a 'guy' book. Every other influence, starting with yours, is female.

RE: Memphis slang
Grandma always said "iswanny" or something like that, it meant swear but she would use it in a low concerned voice like when she got any kind of bad news like was told someone had died, "well iswanny" She also said "shoot fire" a lot never "****", always pronounced "fire" like "far". Grandpa always said things were "harder than a preachers dick at a double wedding".

RE: Memphis slang
I worked in a bbq joint for awhile once, it is pulled pork then take the chopping knife using the flat side and beat (slap) it flat. Actually makes for a flatter sandwich that doesn't fall apart.
