[Lexicog] Re: lexical phrase

I would agree that South Carolina was the end of your vocabulary. I didn’t
know Southern had a dictionary. If it did, I doubt “standard issue” would be
in it. All it would have would be monosyllabic words like ‘git’ and
redundant lexical phrases like ‘this here’. Least ways that’s ‘bout all Ah
herd when Ah lived thar. :-)

So I have fond memories of the place and the kind people.)

That end of my vocabulary is standard South Carolina issue.  (Is "standard
issue" in the dictionary?)

 (I can’t think of a declarative sentence using ‘get’ in the sense ‘leave a
place’. I have to use the phrasal verbs ‘get out’ or ‘get away’.) ‘Go away!’
and ‘Get out of here!’ can possibly be interpreted as literal. ‘Beat it!’ is
a more clear example of an idiom. But all of these expressions have
something in common—they are the normal ways in which someone tells someone
to leave (especially when one is angry). I don’t think any of them is
predictable (at least for an outsider).
