What is a "nother?"

[Midlander]

I hear this all the time. Did someone just stick the word "whole" inside the word "another" and come up with this?

Any ideas?

Accent. I don't think it's actually a word.

you think you can't see anything dumber than the last thing but, oh no, they never stop. there's always one more to trump the previous one. has anyone created a law like oldsmoboats for this yet or is it just called plain stupidity?

"whole other" + "another" = "whole nother"

 

[pontifex]

no, "another" - "a" = "nother" the word "whole" has nothing to do with it.
