sew fell up or down

[fluter]

Poppycock! No such word!

Mmm, actually I think it's a participle, describing one of two conditions

(a) sewing a seam in a watercraft which is struck by a williwaw;
(b) attempting to sew a pleat after one to many gude-willie-waughts!

( )

It's a SOUTHERN word! ... If the English language can be mangled, I garontee {a Louisiana word} we goin' ta do it!

I agree about the mangling part, but be cautious with the 'Cadien---our friends might lay some Quebecois on us, resulting in mutual incomprehension.
