The term was also used a lot in the old western B movies . . . Tom Mix, Gene Autry, Hop-a-long Cassidy, Johnny Mack Brown, Whip Wilson, Roy Rogers, Lone Ranger, Red Ryder, Wild Bill Hickok, etc., etc., etc.

My mom used the term "larapin good" all the time, here in Oklahoma. ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.E.Sorensen" <jsorensen4@cfl.rr.com> To: "Sherry Arnold" <sarnold@hcis.net>; <tnweakle@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2007 1:21 PM Subject: Re: [TNWEAKLE] Dumplin's >I don't know.

That was really interesting. I hadn't heard the word in years. May have to start using that in my vocabulary again.

Yummalicious! Dear Word Detective: I've recently run into a few people from a small town in Idaho (Kooskia) who say "larapin" (I'm guessing at the spelling) when something is good, delicious, agreeable, etc. And not a one of them knows where it began or who began it or even how it's spelled. Anyway, it's driving me crazy not knowing. -- Gretta Shaw, via the internet. I'm sure Kooksia is a very nice town, and, more to the point, "larapin" is a very nice, if somewhat mysterious, word. The most common spelling is "larruping," and it does indeed mean "excellent or first-rate" and is often used to mean "delicious" when referring to food. "Larruping" which is heard from the midwest to New Mexico, can also be used as an intensifying adverb in phrases such as "larruping good." The origin of "larruping" meaning "excellent" is a little uncertain. It seems to be related to the English dialect word "larrup," meaning "to whip, beat or thrash," which first appeared in the early 19th century and may be based on the Dutch "larpen," meaning "to whip." It's not entirely clear how "larruping," which originally meant "beating," came to mean "excellent," but it probably reflects the same logic as the use of "smashing" or "walloping" (as in "a walloping good time was had by all") to mean "superior" or "superlative." By the way, "larrup" has also been used since the late 19th century to mean molasses or any sort of sweet syrup, and pancake syrup used to be known as "larrupy dope," the original meaning of "dope" being simply "thick liquid." lar·rup (lrp) tr.v. lar·ruped, lar·rup·ing, lar·rups To beat, flog, or thrash. n.

Have been researching family for over thirty-one years now, and have no paternal family having ancestral roots in the South, but well remember my father commenting many times through the years when tasting something that he was particularly fond of as "Larapin' Good!"

The other night I was listening to Paula Dean, on the Larry King Show. Think she has a cooking show. She's a southern gal. Anyhow, Larry asked her son what his favorite meal was. I thought he said fried pork chops and then I couldn't catch if he said dropped cornbread dumplings or corn bread and dropped dumplings. Does anyone know is there is a cornbread dumpling? Also never heard dropped dumplings. If there is a cornbread dumpling sure sounds as though it would be good. Anyone else catch that show? M.E. jsorensen4@cfl.rr.com

Wonder what the origin of "larapin" is??? I love this site, it's almost as good as a trip 'back home'...

"larapin" Haven't heard that in years!!! That should have been in the North/ South article PJ just posted... For those who don't know, that means GOOOOOOD!!! smiles I saw Paula Dean on Larry King's show, she said "cornbread dumpling". I've never had them, would they be like "hush puppies"??? Dropped dumplins are just that, dropped in hot liquid rather than rolled out??? I am from Pilot Oak, Graves County, KY and my Mama sometimes made dumplings with boiled squirrel??? And I remember fried rabbit and biscuits and gravey for breakfast... My Daddy was an avid hunter. My Mama, Evelyn Williams Melton, died July 21st at age 91.

My "Grandad" Arthur GREEN from Monroe County, AR used to say that all the time. He was a hoot! Part Indian - and sometimes we thought he was having a "fit". Ha! I thought until sometime last year it was just one of his sayings. Then I read it in a book somewhere. So I guess it is just another of those Southern phrases. -----Original Message----- From: tnweakle-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:tnweakle-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of M.E.Sorensen Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2007 11:51 AM To: tnweakle@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [TNWEAKLE] Dumplin's I hadn't heard larapin in years! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Georgia Miller" <gab0647@airmail.net> To: <TNWEAKLE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2007 10:45 AM Subject: [TNWEAKLE] Dumplin's > My grandmother used to make cornbread dumplin's.

PJ ...glad to read these Southernisms again as I did not save them in the past. THIS time I saved them ....to share with my TX born son and his NJ born spouse who sold their NJ house, and yesterday bought a lot in North Carolina and will immediately start to build on it... near Charlotte! Soooooo, they are MOVING with our 2 granddaughters to the good ol' SOUTH! Yea! Only going to be about 5 hours drive from us! One thing however .....those two granddaughters might have been popped into a Northern oven, but they are going to bake up like SOUTHERN biscuits with their rich Southern heritage....no matter what oven they started in, LOL! You know how people always say they love to hear 'us' talk .....well, in a few years, their Northern cousins are just goin' to luv to hear them talk, aren't they! And I'm going to LUV the day my sweet daughter-in-law says her first "big-ol boy" ....that'll be the day!

Here is Paula Deen's recipe for Turnip Greens with Cornmeal Dumplings from the Food Network site: 3/4 pound smoked meat (smoked turkey wings are excellent) 4 quarts water 1 teaspoon House Seasoning, recipe follows 2 chicken bouillon cubes 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1 bunch turnip greens with roots 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter 1 teaspoon sugar (optional; may be used if greens are bitter) Cornmeal Dumplings, recipe follows Place smoked meat in water along with House Seasoning, bouillon, and ginger. Cook over low heat for 1 1/2 hours. Strip turnip leaves free of the big stem that runs down the center of each leaf. Wash in a sink full of clean water. Drain and wash twice more, since greens can often be sandy. Peel and slice or quarter roots. Add greens to meat; cook for another 30 minutes, stirring often. Add roots and continue to cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until roots are tender. (Reserve 2/3 cup turnip liquid for the dumplings.) Add butter and sugar. Serve with dumplings. House Seasoning: 1 cup salt 1/4 cup black pepper 1/4 cup garlic powder Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months. Cornmeal Dumplings 1 cup all-purpose cornmeal 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 small onion, chopped 1 egg 2/3 cup liquid from cooked turnips Mix all ingredients together. Dipping by teaspoonfuls, gently roll batter in the palms of your hands into approximately 1-inch balls; drop into boiling turnip liquid Make sure each dumpling is completely covered in liquid by shaking the pot gently; do not stir. Boil for about 10 minutes.
