but never took the time to look or ask. I've noticed that some of you from up north use the word "boughten" I'd never heard anyone use that word until ranchers.net landed in my life LOL So today...after seein it once more, I did a google search to see if it was indeed a word. It is. Means the same thing as "bought". I'm not in anyway makin fun of you that use this word. Heavens knows I use enuff wierd words myself. It just always struck me as a weird word. But in my google search it does say that it's a "northern thing".

We use plenty of English words like colour and neighbour and french words like rendezvous. And make some of our own like couch. I love all the different spellings and meanings and like to use them in humour. Most of the time though I have noticed that we defer to the American spellings and versions. This site certainly has a diverse clientele.

I think it tends to be used almost as a derogatory term-I remember hearing adults say when I was a kid 'she uses boughten butter' etc I don't think they meant it as a compliment either.
