What's this?

Reminds me of the ancient Native American word "noseeum" loosely

interpreted as "I cannot see them", and shortened from the original "I cannot see them, but they are biting hell outta me"

Had to look that one up. Marklar's similar but more complex & historical. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 02/15/2020 3:29PM

Derived from the indigenous Marklar term for "marklar." ** -- Trogdor 02/15/2020 3:31PM

Language of origin please. ** -- Stork 02/15/2020 3:32PM

Supposedly derived from "joint". So it's a cajun-Philly pronunciation. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 02/15/2020 3:36PM

Odd b/c Philly doesn't really do joint. We tend to prefer crack. -- Trogdor 02/15/2020 3:41PM
