[Magdalen] "Poor Little Old Rhode Island."

[ME Michaud]

Truck was a verb that was nouned.
Originally it meant to drag or carry or convey.
Over time it began to refer to that which was conveyed.
And then to the conveyance itself.

I can still remember an old-timer saying "I'll take no truck from the likes
of him."
