I'm scared to ask . . . "choad"?

are you out of grade school? :p


This must be a slang word I have not made myself familiar with. I even looked it up on 'webster's' online dictionairy. No-dice.

What is Toadsuck? Well, the name doesn't refer to what you're thinking. Back when steamboats traveled the Arkansas River, they could only travel when the water was at the right depth. When it wasn't, the captains and their crew had to wait on the river at what is currently the Toad Suck Lock and Dam. They, being good sailors, waited at the local tavern and the locals said that , "suck on the bottle 'til they swell up like toads." That's where legend says the name of the town comes from and festival is named after the town.

I did not think it was that 'word' the others were thinking of. I just found it amusing.
