thx - all 3 make sense!

I was in college (Up nawth) before I figured out what the following really were:

brim (bream, a member of the sunfish family)

sac o' lay (lait) - lit. bag of milk; most likely a gravid female fish

mel-e- ton = mirliton, actually called chayote by the rest of the world (who also do not realize you are supposed to pack them full of shrimp & crab)

mud dauba' (dauber) - a type of wasp
