Word of the Week
"campin' " -- [verb] meaning to live outdoors
as in "We're goin campin' this weekend."
In honor of the holiday weekend, the word this week came from my random thoughts.
In the West we are more relaxed about many things - clothing is more casual, time is more casual, spoken words and proper endings are more casual. We drop a lot of "g's" from our spoken words. It would sound really snooty for someone out here to actual pronounce the Word of the Week as "camp-ing" and not "cam-pin".
Plus it's very freeing in some ways to drop your g's.

Speak fer yerself, you g-dropper. I guess I'm snooty.
