I loved the old washboards. My mother had one, with the corrugated glass which was a bluey green colour, in a wooden frame.

Here's a clip from Dictionary dot com:<BR/><BR/>American regional dialects allow freer adjectival use of certain past participles of verbs than does Standard English. Time-honored examples are boughten (chiefly Northern U.S.) and bought (chiefly Southern U.S.) to mean "purchased rather than homemade": a boughten dress, bought bread. The Northern form boughten (as in store boughten) features the participial ending -en, added to bought, the participial form, probably by analogy with more common participial adjectives such as frozen. Another development, analogous to homemade, is evident in bought-made, cited in DARE from a Texas informant. <BR/><BR/>I always thought it was a little kid term, using the language incorrectly. Wow. You learn something new every day.JuliaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795348297295716491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-66479882268496215112008-04-12T23:18:00.000-07:002008-04-12T23:18:00.000-07:00Some latter day washboards had a glass (pyrex??) i...Some latter day washboards had a glass (pyrex??) insert instead of metal; I doubt if they played as well (Hoosier Hotshots please note).<BR/><BR/>HermanoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-31781097052251682052008-04-12T09:56:00.000-07:002008-04-12T09:56:00.000-07:00bro -- both terms are used here; I'm never quite s...bro -- both terms are used here; I'm never quite sure whether the garage doors <I>must</I> be open for it to be called a garage sale. As for The Google, I'm surprised. I keep up with everybody using www.bloglines.com, BTW. It's very handy.<BR/><BR/>juliar -- I think <I>boughten</I> is an old English form; according to a recent article in <I>New Scientist</I>, those old forms are gradually going by the wayside. About the washboard -- probably your mom used what mine (and my grandmothers, too) used -- the kind from the store with the metal corrugation.Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-36431097113552893102008-04-12T07:37:00.000-07:002008-04-12T07:37:00.000-07:00I love to say "store boughten" too!
