Black top pavement. I'm sure I've seen it in the more civilized parts of Canada. What do you call it?

Au natural heating pad.
Here's something though, we have some new neighbors in a new house with a new horse paddock (old horse). The owners dropped a great big rock in the middle of the horses little grazing area. Apparently the rock, at times, will retain enough heat for the horse to cuddle up with. It also gives the horse a scratching post and a bit of a wind break (though it does also have a stable).

Woke up yesterday to freezing rain and the threat of more freezing rain, so I went back to bed. It never really came down like they said it would. so no fun movies of car pinball on the nightly news or anything of that matter, but I did get the day off, which was nice.

Sorry, I guess 'hot top' is one of those crazy Maine terms I picked up. Pavement is all I meant.
We do have some of them new-fangled heated sidewalks that lead to the State House - or so I hear.

Pretty common term here in the Worker's Paradise, as well. I'd assume because it's applied while hot. "Stove" as a verb for beating something is a crazy Maine term. Nexa occasionally says something to the effect of "that fence was stove all to hell" and I have to loudly whisper "she's from MAINE" to others so they won't fear her.

Stove is standard English. Kind of archaic? Whenever someone uses that word here, and it's not often, it's usually with regard to skulls.

I've heard that too. And hottop as well, but I can't remember where. Henry Reed comes to mind, but he was set in New Jersey mostly. Maybe from the old folk out in Ohio?

I live here in Ohio and I've never heard it referred to as hottop.

Isn't stove just the past tense of stave (the meaning of which is a bit more obvious)?

Yes, I wasn't confused about the etymology, just the modern usage. I could refer to a bag as a "poke" as well, but if I did I'd expect Nexa to explain why.

What's odd to me is, I grew up hearing both of those expressions in Tennessee. Is there such a language as Rural?
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No, it's just that you are a timeless being who has wandered the Earth throughout her history, Buddha of the first epoch or maybe just a bodhisattva delaying Nirvana for the good of all. Perhaps living for a while as the Empress Wu Zetian, perhaps as Catherine the Great. Who can say?
Did the rubes you grew up with really use "poke" to refer to bags?

My mother did. She was from just west of Nashville (and a big ol' rube). I don't think I ever heard my dad say it, but he did refer to his billfold as a pocketbook.

Billfold itself is a pretty old-fashioned word.

I remember my grandmother saying 'rapping at the door' rather more so "WHO'S RAPPIN!!!!?" and seemed to use the word 'burn' rather than throw.. "burn it away in the trash".. She also used the word sounding like 'es-tree' instead of 'yesterday'.
I've always wondered how much of these things she says are actual genuine anachronisms or just random Balmer city slang that has no place or purpose in the lexicon.
