And now to over analyze

From Appalachian history website

“What in tarnation?” is one of a wide variety of euphemistic expressions of surprise, bewilderment or anger that arose in 18th and 19th century America. Perhaps due to our Puritan legacy, Americans were, during this period, especially creative in devising oaths that allowed us to express strong emotions while still skirting blasphemy.

Such inventions as “heck,” “drat,” “darn,” “gosh,” “jiminy,” “gee-whiz” and “goldarn” were all devised to disguise exclamations that would have been considered shocking in polite society. “Sam Hill,” for example, is simply an early 19th century euphemism for “hell” (and while there have been many people named Sam Hill throughout history, the expression does not come from the name of any particular Sam Hill).

“Tarnation,” which dates back to the late 18th century, is an interesting example of this generation of euphemisms because it’s actually two euphemisms rolled into one word. The root of “tarnation” is “darnation,” a euphemistic modification of the word “damnation,” which at that time was considered unfit for polite conversation. “Darnation” became “tarnation” by being associated in popular speech with “tarnal,” an aphetic, or clipped, form of “eternal.”

It may seem odd that “eternal” would ever have been considered a curse word, but to speak of “the Eternal” at that time was often to invoke a religious context (God, Heaven, etc.), and thus to label something or someone “eternal” in a disparaging sense (“You eternal villain!”) was considered a mild oath. Shakespeare, for example, used “eternal” in this way in at least two of his plays.

So at some point someone, probably in a moment of exasperation, mixed “darnation” with “tarnal,” and we ended up with “tarnation.”

When I was stationed in Calif. in the 70's someone started me on dipping fries in a Wendy's chocolate frosty. Was good but alcohol may have been involved and seem to recall it was usually done late at night.

John think you meant to say Poutine, Poutain is French for bitch, whore or slut LOL.

Grew up eating fries with brown gravy minus the cheese curds we called them home fries. Often used thin sliced fried potatoes for breakfast instead of french fries same way with brown gravy. If no gravy ketchup will work. But been a long time since had any taters of any type. Being on Atkins taters basically have a glycemic index of infinity

I have eaten both and prefer Poutine. Poutine tastes better and it doesnt make it burn when I pee

I am sure you are doing everything in your power to stay safe. A few people do not care about the other guy, and those are the ones you gotta watch for. Heard first hand, @ a local manufacturing facility, an employee in production tested positive came into work for 4 days after receiving report! His reason? He was on disciplinary last chance and was concerned with getting fired!
