plahrs

roun hea dats "wy ply"- at least in some neighborhoods. I was getting gas and an old fellow had his head under his raised hood. He saw me drive up and yelled at me "EY! yuga wy ply? lemma wy ply!" I did NOT understand him. I said "whut? try that in English." My wife who was born and raised hereabouts said he was asking for the loan of a pair of pliers.I got out my pliers and handed them to him and he proceeded to tighten his battery terminal and handed them back. Now I hear the word from time to time from old folks. It is a local pronunciation for a local term, to wit, "wire pliers," the kind best used for twisting wire.
