FAMILY COLLOQUIALISM PUZZLE

Jerry and I both had to chuckle at the intentional use of "family colloquialism" in Drake's "Turkey Run" post last night. And there might have been a couple unintentional "hints" of it in the responses. Did anyone else catch it?!?!?

    Right away I chuckled at "clear stuffed".

    You got it! There's another family-used word in there - can you find it? And a possible third one.

    I picked up on the "clear" right away (as in Cleve's post above!!) but am not sure of the other ones.

    Many more times than I can count or even remember, I have been told:

    "Uncle Petely would say, 'This is clear good or clear (you can fill in the blank _______________).'"

    I think Uncle Petely (Meiss) died soon after we married, but I do remember him.
