re: the most embarrassed you’ve ever been

My grandmother picked me and 2 brothers up from elementary school one afternoon.

All 3 of us piled into the back seat, and within 2 minutes it was a royal rumble, all 3 of fighting.

She starting yelling at us and slapping at us.

I thought I’d learned a new vocabulary word, and it seemed like the perfect situation to use it.

So I yelled back at her in the front seat, “Gah, Meemaw, you’re always so HORNY!!!”

She swerved into oncoming traffic, narrowly missing a head on collision, and skidded off into the grass. She jumped out of the car, ripped the back door open and screamed at me “what did you say!?!?!”

And I repeated it. Again. With determination...

Apparently the word I was looking for was ORNERY

















30 something years later, still can’t hear the word “horny” without cringing
