| Southern Maryland Slang Kid has an assignment in H.S. to report on typical SOMD slang (colloquial) language. I searched the posts but couldn't find much, albeit I am too tired to search the 100 hits on my search. I'm looking for some quick help so I can finish my work and help my H.S. Jr. Green to all who help.

| JoJo: Fried potato wedges Up in Frederick, they had potato wedges at the lunch counter and I told the gal, "I'll have some of those JoJo fries." She looked at me like I was nuts - had no idea what I was talking about. Steamer: Sloppy joe Although this may be a Maryland thing, but the first time I ever heard somebody call a sloppy joe a "steamer" was down here. And of course there's: "De by gawd" |

 I don't know where the heck you heard these phrases down here, but they were uttered by a bunch of fer-a-ners. No one from down here says "JoJo fries" or "steamers".
