Subject: Re: 'old maid'



DARE's anecdotal evidence suggests that the term 'old maid,' for an unpopped

kernel of popcorn, is chiefly North and North Midland. But we didn't ask

this on our Questionnaire, so we don't have nationwide coverage. Are you

familiar with this term? If so, when and where? Thanks in advance.
