I had an encounter with an employee of the Human Resources department who told me a certain committee met, “once ta munt.“
Made me quite comfortable knowing she would be responsible for making sure I was paid correctly, among other things.

It means to get rid of. Like a deer sheds its antlers.

Is “cold drink/cold drank” for a soda strictly Louisiana, or more of a Southern thing?
