This collection of satiric verse takes its title from that thoroughly southern term meaning “irreverent retort†or “scoffing observation.†Whether addressing the political, the poetical, or the practical, Fred Chappell brandishes his lexical sword, ribbing our shortcomings, offering tonic advice, and occasionally shedding a tear for fallen ideals.
