  13. I was interested, and a bit surprised, to see from Ray Grenade's
  14. posting that in Arkadelphia, AR, people say "dibs" and not
  15. "dubs". I grew up and lived until age 18 (when I went off to
  16. Baton Rouge) in Northeast Louisiana, within a half-hour's drive
  17. of Arkansas. We always said "dubs", and I don't think it was a
  18. family idiosyncrasy.
