| Summary: | prog v This word means foor or "grub". This word isn't used very often today in Grand Bank though it was quite common in the 20's, 30's and 40's. It was used by adults. I heard it from my mother, Mrs. Lily Noseworthy of Grand Bank, and my father, Ronald M. Noseworthy, in December 1965. "Prog" was used in a number of ways, as a noun: "Have 'ee got ye prog te?"; as a verb: "Prog the clergy", a common phrase meaning that the clergy would stay for a week in each parishioner's house while waiting for his residence to be built; as an adjective: "prog bag" as in grub bag, such as fishermen carry with them.
