A while back I profiled Anderson Valley's Boont Amber Ale and mentioned the phrase Bahl Hornin'. Well that was before I realized that AVBC actually made a beer called Bahl Hornin'. I figured it was only fair that I profile the Bahl Hornin' today. As I mentioned in my previous post Bahl Hornin' means "Good Drinking" in Boontling which is a language spoken in Boonville, CA where AVBC makes its home.
Here are a few more Boontling terms that I pulled from the Samuel Hornes FB page.
"roopey harpin" = aimless, empty talk, braggadocio.
"come-on boy" = a convivial, social drinker (opposed to a "silent horner" or a lone drinker)
"Higher 'n a Billy" which translates to Very Drunk; disorderly because of drink.
"Diddle Can" which translates to a bottle of whiskey, especially a container of bootleg whiskey.
"hornin region" which translates to a bar, any place drinking of alcoholic beverages is regularly done.
So being the come-on boy that I am, I think that I should head to my favorite hornin region(Samuel Hornes) to get higher 'n a billy.
