How come Southerners say “Make me a plate?”?
The first time I heard that, I imagined someone at a pottery wheel making dishware….I never dreamed it meant “serve me some food.”
I wonder where that saying came from…..
As in so many colloquial phrases it contains an assumptive “understood” One understands that a plate of food is meant.
Our language, both in the north and the south is full of such phrases.
Just something to think about: Have you thought about why you say “How come”?
