BACK IN THE DAY
Courting



I remember my mammaw using the term courting when talking about dating. “He’s courtin’ Sally Sue.” She would also use sparking or keeping company. For example, “He’s keepin’ company with ol’ man so and so’s daughter.” She might say, “So and so is comin’ to call.” If you have heard this or have an historic fun fact you’d like to share, comment below.
