"Untellin" is one I picked up from my time in EKy, and now subconsciously use it seemingly dozens of times a day.

I use to know a guy that used this phrase when he got aggrevated:

"Pawn my word and honor"

Nailed them all. My Elliot County, KY dad and Mingo County, WV mom come in handy once in a while.

I've always used "scrounge" as a verb, meaning to search or dig around looking for something.

 

You might scrounge around in the garage looking for a screwdriver. Or you might scrounge through the refrigerator for a snack.

I don't think "scrounge" is a mountain term. My mom has used it for as long as I can recall, and she was born and raised in Iowa.
