The term poke sallet is an old Southern term for the cooked young leaves of the poke weed. Sallet comes from Middle English and refers to a mess (another Old or Middle English term) of greens cooked until tender. The term Polk Salad is a gentrified way of referring to poke sallet, and I'm afraid it reflects our inferiority complex when it comes to standing up for our Southern terminology. We are not making a mush of Polk Salad; actually, we are being true to our English ancestors who settled here a long time ago.
Some folks around here always add a little molasses and fatback to the water when they cook their poke sallet. That's the traditional way.

Get the Matt Sallee mug.
Get the sullen mug.An alcoholic beverage named after Captain Sullenberger, the pilot who successfully landed a commercial airliner in the Hudson river without harming any passengers.
The drink consists of a shot of Grey Goose, dropped into a glass of water. Grey Goose represents the flock of geese that caused the engines to fail, and the water obviously represents the river in which the plane was landed.
This drink is far from ideal, likewise, so is landing a plane in the river, but it'll work in the most dire situations.

Sometimes you just have to improvise. How about a Sullenberger shot? Drop a shot of the Goose into a glass of water, and salute Captain Sully

Get the Sullenberger Shot mug.
Poor school that can’t really afford anything eg pens and paper
Full of twats and the year 7s act hard
Most teachers are annoying
Got broken in to twice in 1 month
Tbf I don’t even think the cameras
And alarms were even working
Half the school claims to be gay
And the food is discussing
