BOLES - two foreign words used extensively in backwoods Alabama and Mississippi to describe others, not because the people are particularly multi-lingual, but because the words are onomatopoeic and therefore self-explanatory i.e.
From Latin bolus (lump), from Greek bolos (clod).
Examples: You bolos! You Bolus! You damn yankee!

But Trombo, all women are evil unless they are your mother.
My mother was a chemist who played cello. Evil as can be. Oh, wait: my wife's a mathematician who plays clarinet. Tie-breaker: my wife has red hair. Makes my mother an angel.

Worry not, good Tromboner, one distant day your wife's hair will turn grey and once again she'll become the sweetheart you courted.
And I have some ocean front property I'll sell you cheap in Montana.

And I have some ocean front property I'll sell you cheap in Montana. a) It's already turning; b) She always has been; c) At the rate the local glaciers are melting, I'll be living on beachfront property in a couple of years.
