1. What's 'pot likker'?
Pardon my north-eastern ignorance of the south, but what's 'pot likker'? I'm pretty sure I know what corn pone is.

4. What's left when you make greens
It's the "liquor" in the pot. (Think oyster/clam "liquor" if you cook).

You mop it up with biscuits or cornbread.

Ummmmmm.

11. Does he reach out and pick pockets as people walk by?
Or expose his genitals to women after he gets animatronically drunk?
