TX or LA - Who Gets Hit by This Storm?

It may be just a southern thing but peter was a regular noun and adverb in the lexicon of my youth. "Petered out" meant tired. "She likes peter" meant, well, just what it says.

Now that I think about it, that might be the first time I typed it. I say it a lot, but don't usually use it in text.

How is it just a Southern thing? Obviously it means you tired out.

I'm pretty traveled, and haven't ever used the phrase outside of LA now that I think about it. Is it really not said outside the south?

I think it hits both E TX and W LA.

Google says it was but is not used much anymore. Obviously, from anecdotal evidence on this board, the word is still extant as a verb in parts of the South. Its use as slang for penis is almost dead apparently. I didn't know that.

Side note: In my search I learned that another male name, Pubert, isn't used as slang for penis anymore either. Pubert? I had never heard of that name but I can imagine the horror a kid named Pubert experienced in high school.

Projections I saw suggested it was going right up Lake Chuck's arse.

If it hits LA the Mississippi Coast will get the brunt of the winds again just like Katrina. It's impossible for a hurricane to only hit LA.
