Rural words

Short post. Adding more words that I have heard...now that I keep an ear out for them!

Rule. In my neck of the woods, this is the pronunciation for RURAL. I pronounce both "R's".
Gully Whopper. This is a crane fly. About an inch and a half long with REALLY long legs.
Fixin. I am planning on doing something. I'm fixin to go to the store.
Sack. Same as poke. Put the groceries in the sack.
Carry them. Drive someone, somewhere. I have to carry them to school.
Boot. Trunk of the car.
Branch. Small creek. The kids are swimming in the branch out back.
Smidgen. Measurement. Same as a "pinch" (which is an exact measurement in cooking). 1/16 of a tsp, I think.
Ear Out. I believe, that I just used this. Means listen for.
