I am looking for the origin of a term which I suspect to be regional to
Oklahoma, Texas, and/or Missouri. The word is larrupin' , possibly spelled
larruping or larrupun. It means "tasty." I have only found larrup, a verb
meaning to thrash or beat, in dictionaries. This word is used in a novel
published in 1955 but is set in 1890. The term larrupin' is still used today
by people in Oklahoma. Thank you for your help.
