Haint= a ghost. Jeepers= I think it meant wow. Like for sure= this was "Valley Girl" slang back in the 80's ( sarcasum). Hep= help. Brad= to beat to pieces of something togther. ***** bath= to wash ones face and neck off quickly in a sink because you are in a hurry. Staub= a stick in the ground like tent spike. Fit= two or more people in a fight.

There's alot that come up in everyday conversation where I live, especially if you talk to the old timers.
