"No, I ain't workin' none jest spuddin' around." "Me? I'm jes' shacklin' around." "Yea, la! I'm jist loaferin' about." And yet one hears that our mountaineers have a limited vocabulary! A "cooter" is a box-tortoise, and the noun is turned into a verb with an ease characteristic of the mountaineers. "Spuddin' around" means toddling or jolting along.
And "shacklin' around" pictures a shackly, loose-jointed way of walking, expressive of the idle vagabond. A stranger takes the mountaineers for simple characters that can be gauged at a glance.
