Succotash

~
Succotash: Corn and lima beans mixed. Any mixture.

From Narraganset for corn. The word has always seemed funny to me, and, it appears, to the writers of the Daffy Duck cartoons. Daffy is known for his expletive: Sufferin' Succotash, spoken with a lisp and considerable spray.

I think it would be an interesting challenge to a songwriter to include the word in a romantic ballad.

"My singular passion
Is for you with cash and succotash, and,
if not too much to ask, in Paris fashion".

Readers are invited to improve on that ditty.
