Stove up

My brother-in-law arrived today to attend my granddaughter's christening tomorrow.

He was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay area and has lived for many years in Minnesota.

I mentioned that after going diving and bouncing around in the boat yesterday, I was "all stove up" meaning that I am stiff and sore.

He said he had never heard the term before, but we Googled it, and it does mean what I meant by it.

I'm just curious- is there anyone else who hasn't heard it, or maybe I should ask if there is anyone else who has heard it?

Is it a Southern term? I have no idea where I picked it up.

Re: Stove up

Thanks. Maybe I got it from being born and raised in Florida and/or going to college in Alabama. Of course 20 years in the Marine Corps exposed me to terms from all kinds of people, so I'm never quite sure where I got some of my vocabulary.

Re: Stove up

I grew up in the panhandle with some alabama folks and it was quite common.

"Dammit Bonnie Sue, if you don't get dinner ready right this second, I'm going to shove that stove up your ass"

Just kidding. I have heard it since a kid with the country folks, and it means exactly what bill said.

Re: Stove up

I thought it was a corruption of a nautical term. "Stove" referring to the smashed hull of a ship after hitting something.

Re: Stove up

It's amazing some of the stuff you say and have no idea what it means.

Hey kids, knock it off.

It is amazing the terms we use with no thought of the etymology.

Re: Stove up

"Stove up" is new to me but "stove in" meaning bashed to Hell and gone is familiar . . . and I'm a native SoCalidonian!
