You must just live on an acreage, and call yourself a farmer. Funny how you belittle people on knowledge you yourself are wrong on. It’s everything. Timothy, WHEAT, barley… wheat specifically because it turns into something that almost resembles chewing gum. Keep your posts to yourself perhaps unless you know what you’re talking about. I’m a farmer of many crops, I have a bucket of wheat right beside me. “Pleonast” - Since you’re not a farmer, maybe you should keep your trap shut rather than insulting people with your false information. Isn’t nice being on the receiving end, is it. Must suck to be you not knowing anything. Also, NO crop is “free”. Tens of thousands of dollars go into crops each year, no crop is “free”. Especially not “easily available”… does that mean you’re stealing farmers crops? Usually that gets a shotgun to the face.
Well, that escalated…I’d say “quickly,” but it’s been almost six years…
What’s the point of chewing on a toothpick?
Don’t have gum? and don’t smoke anymore. and the wife’s ni… NM
He’s been saving it up for that “just right” moment…

I vote for “farmer’s gum” having been raised on a farm. I still preferred Bubblelicious:D.
Back in my farming days, clover was my preferred chew.
I always figured they chewed on that there wildwood weed…Wildwood Weed (Jim Stafford) w/ lyrics - YouTube
That’s why it takes 'em so long to get mad.
You can rub off the pokies from the stem of a thistle flower … chewing on that makes you look bad-ass.
Rub Off the Pokies, the debut album by Hicks Chewing on Wheat.
AIUI, rubbing off the pokey is a popular activity whether one was raised rural, urban or somewhere in between.
Fact is, there are lots of grasses that grow more or less wild all over the country. Many of them can simply be grabbed as you walk, and the soft, sweet and juicy base end of these stems are not only pleasant to chew on, but they keep the mouth moist. When you’re done with one, you toss it away and simply pick another. Anyone who has walked in or near a prairie has no doubt had, or should have, this lovely experience.
Is ergot a true hallucinogen, or is it simply a poison that produces neurological symptoms by extreme vasoconstriction of the arteries of the brain?
Over here, a country bumpkin is usually depicted with a straw in his mouth. I always thought that was pretty daft since straw has none of the pleasant effects described above.
As a kid in West Africa, we used to chew on casave leaf. It is found everywhere and is very tasty. The locals made it into soup called saka saka which looks disgusting but tastes great.
The locals preferred betel nuts which turned their mouths purple and apparently gives a kick like six cups of coffee, but rots your teeth and worse…
We aren’t Hicks, we’re rednecks
No, you don’t understand: Timothy is his dog!
