The first time I pulled my adjective on that cliché and backed him down, Daddy said, "Son, that were a damn fool thing to do. Thet thar hombre were out to kill yer language. Y' let him live. Son, never pull yer adjective unless y' mean t' use it."
"
Hell, Daddy," I said--"It weren't even loaded."
"Then use yer verbs, but finish what you start."
