Where are you from, exactly? I'm a native of Marshall, Texas, who grew up
in Saint Louis, Missouri. Although I have been railroading some, unlike
Johnny Cash, I haven't been everywhere and there are many thousands of
varieties of what I very much prefer to continue to refer to as
"B[lack]E[nglish]" with which I'm totally unfamiliar. Clearly, the variety
of BE in which _bun_ is a verb is one of those.
