A Mind To
Have you ever found yourself thinking about something, planning, reflecting, and contemplating? They have a term for that in the south. It’s not something you’ll usually hear in various parts of the United States. 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.”

Piddle
Can you guess what it means to piddle? It means you are procrastinating or simply being lazy in the South! Therefore, if a person is the kind to “piddle” around, it implies that they are likely 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.”
