I just found this site when looking up a term used by a friend of a friend years ago, "brigglin". When asked what he was doing, he would say, "Just brigglin." The one who used it is dead, so there is no way to verify the meaning, as used by him, and my friend thought it might be from the French word "bricoler", which means "to putter", or to not work very hard. Could it have traveled up the Mississippi from French Louisiana to the state of Iowa? My friend is going to ask the deceased friend's wife what his ethnicity was.
