A Mr. Clem Peachnut from Paragould Arkansas asks...
.
"Dear Mr. Knowitall, my new shift leader down at the Chick-Fil-A where I work, is one of those big city slickers from Little Rock. He talks real fancy, and acts real uppity. Yesterday he said that I was Saprostomous! Me...Saprostomous? Mr. Knowitall, what does that mean, and can you help me with learnin some fancy words of my own?"
