What does it mean in Utah?

Where I'm from, everyone in elementary school knew the anatomical meaning.

Never considered that a Utah thing.

It might be elsewhere. I've only heard it from Utahns though.

Never heard it in my life. Grew up in Utah.

I'll be coming up with an alternate word for "lots" from now on. 😉

Wise choice 😉

Welp, you’ve tainted my understanding of the word forever.

I lived in Utah for over 30 years and never heard that word once, in any context

Usually used to mean a lot of something. "I have a grundle of peaches off my tree."

Born and raised in Utah and have spent 30 of my 35 years in Utah. Never have

For you doubters that it's a Utah thing--I had never heard it until I moved here, and I do hear it frequently.

Wow. How have I never noticed that word?

I assure you it was used in your high school.

Seems like a little common sense can help us solve this mystery.

That's not a particularly fair, or even "common sense" examination of the "evidence"

Not only did you waste a lot of time, but your theory doesn't make sense at all.

Lived in Utah the majority of my life, don't think I've heard it a single time

It’s not a Utah-ism. It’s used everywhere.

That may be true. I never heard it used to mean "lots" anywhere but in Utah. But, I haven't lived "everywhere"

I grew up here in Utah Valley and have heard it used. But I also heard it when

I have never heard it in Utah but now I see the definition I can never unhear it

I suspect you will notice it now in use in Utah.

Reading through the posts on CB that have used the term, I discovered that Superkid was about 2 years ahead of me

Is it a Utah thing or more or a Mormon thing in certain areas?

1/8/20 11:12pm

Could be that...

Never heard it. Lived in Utah for 25 years. Never heard it once.

Yeah... I've heard it a grundle of times

germm

That’s quite the grundle indeed.

I have never heard that word until now

Only time I heard it used in UT in 10 years was as anatomical reference
