In South St. Louis "Lard" means God.
Cordially,
"In South St. Louis "Lard" means God. "
What's this? It looks like a feeble attempt at humor. Don't give up your day job.
I was born and raised in South St. Louis and NEVER heard anyone refer to God as "lard". Everyone I know could actually pronounce the two words (Lord and lard), and knew the difference.
Sorry if you didn't have the same exposure.
