trueman

Used primarily in southern Maryland, trueman, when used as a noun, is slang for "gypsy." It is also used as an exclamation when a toad is found near one's mailbox.

Example 1, slang for gypsy: "I went to see a fortune-telling trueman to find out if Kristin is in love with me. I think the trueman put a hex on me instead. I should have tipped her."

Example 2, as an exclamation: "Trueman! Ugh, toads are so gross."
