Sorry, guys. This is not a "Shiver thing." My dad, who grew up in Oklahoma, told a story about an old lady at a revival meeting - shouting "Amen" with the rest of the congregation as the preacher named and denounced current vices - until he said, "...and you women, with your snuff sticks...," at which the old woman grumbled, "Now he's quit preachin' and gone to meddlin'!"
