[Fictionary] Misqueme - to displease (Results)

[Fran Poodry]

Man, y'all sure don't live in the Pacific Northwest, where berries are king
and if misqueme was really a relative of the blackberry it would be at all
the farmers markets. I'ma go get some salmonberries now. Maybe eat some
marionberry pie later. LOL.
