    Being embarrassed of someone may however be an Americanism that I am unaware of, in which case I shall forgive you and bask in a mild glow of cultural superiority
    Well, I am a Kentuckian! I've read that there are some Scots (not Gaidhlig nor Gaeilge) vocabulary, etc., that have found their way into the dialects of rural Kentucky and West Virginia. Perhaps that's where I picked it up??
