Well, now, when she put dem stockin's on ag'in, dere ain't nuthin in de worl' will keep 'er from bein' wit dat man no way whatevah - she's fer 'im.
(What do they call that stuff - sort of scum-like on the head of his tool?)
Yeah, bread.
(What do you call that stuff? I didn't understand that name?)
Dey call it gnat bread.
(What does the first word mean? Gnat like a little bug? Gnat bread?)
Dat's right. [My emphasis shows interest and surprise. I had not heard the term for years, momentarily could scarcely recall the first word. Years ago this condition was associated with a lack of personal hygiene; the reason for the word scum. If I remember, the term does not appear elsewhere in HOODOO.]
