Nigals definition of a Nab is incorrect.

Cattywampus is correct.

“Nigal did you google? lol”

Sadly no. I have had times when I was forced to be in contact with those who actually use these words. They are also fond of the word "yu'ins". As in, "Hey, yu'ins wanna go get some beer and shoot some rats?".

Southern traditions, including Vienna sausages, Lance Nabs (the square orange crackers with the peanut butter in the middle), Coke with peanuts in it, RC Cola, and moon pies. Wild game is also considered a Southern specialty, featuring deer, rabbit, and possum. Those stories about Southerners eating road kill have been greatly exaggerated—then again, if one accidentally hits a deer with one's truck, it would be a waste just to leave it for the buzzards, wouldn't it?

"If one accidentally hits a deer with one's truck, it would be a waste just to leave it for the buzzards, wouldn't it?”

Reminds me, I saw 6+ dead deer(road kill) along the Interstates during one day of the Memorial Day Weekend.It was in Iowa, Illinois and Indiana.

So Carletta,

Being a good southern girl and also being from North Carolina, I bet you know why North Carolina has more yankees and South Carolina has more africian-americans.

I dunno, Carlette, if the squirrel was killed by a carom off of a windshield, and landed off of the road, it might be okay.

But would it really be "roadkill" then?
bitpusher

pinto beans with chopped onions and cornbread with bacon drippings

in that situation bit it would be salvagable. hmmm..I'd say still qualifies as roadkill.

I think it would depend on what the direct cause of death was. If the squirrel died as a result of impact with the windshield then we have road kill. If death occurred as a result of impact with the side of the road then it doesn't qualify.
