When I moved to Colorado years ago people were always using the term 'borrow pit.' I caught on that they were talking about the road ditch. Some years later I saw the term barrow being used as to loan something. So, off to the dictionary I go. I found that barrow is a pile of earth or stone to bury the dead. Borrow pit is the source or earth to fill a roadbed, hence, the ditch becomes a 'borrow pit.' A steeple is a church tower. A staple is a 'U' shaped fastener. The point I'm working around to is that over the years words have becomes mispronounced and misused and local interpretations made so we may all speak our own dialect of the common language. Thank you for your thyme and patients.(sic)
