Nor me. But I do agreeThe Miracle Worker is a great film. That moment when Helen makes the connection is so moving.

Wait I do have a guess that is probably wrong. Something to do with her getting breast implants? |

What are goober peas? What is the origin of this expression? What led to the expression gaining wide use?

Not sure, but I"ll guess..
I know goober is in relation to peanuts and they open like pea pods to get the the stuff inside. So, goober peas are the nuts inside the peanut shells? I believe it is a southern (US) term from a long time ago. |

The term did arise in the Southern US, but I am looking for more than that. More of the Etymology. |

Easy peasy! (No pun inteneded)
Borrowed word from one of the African languages, brought over by the slave trade. Peanuts were a food staple for the slaves and they used their word for it. The slave owners corrupted it into 'goober.' One of the first folk songs I learned to play on the guitar! Sitting by the roadside on a summer's day Chatting with my mess-mates, passing time away Lying in the shadows underneath the trees Goodness, how delicious, eating goober peas. Stitchawl |
