A Mind To
Have you ever found yourself thinking, planning, reflecting, and contemplating about something? In the south, they have a term for that. It is not something that you will typically hear in different parts of the United States. Over there, you have “a mind to” do something when you are thinking of it. Here is a neat example: “I have a mind to go over to Tom’s house to help him work on his car, but I’m not sure when.”

Can you guess what piddle means? In the South, it means that you are procrastinating or simply being lazy! So, if a person is the type to “piddle” around, it means that they like to waste time. If you need a longer example, here it is: “Would you stop piddling around back there and get it done?” This is another good one: “Jane was going to come out tonight but she piddled away all her money before Friday.”
