Getting To Grips With Southern Hospitality – The True Meaning Of Southern Phrases

Stompin’ Grounds

This is a commonly used term that you might not know the true meaning of. Why don’t you allow us to help you figure it out? A “stompin’ ground” is what you call home, or your favorite place to be in the whole world, where you feel the most comfortable. This is another term that Southerners stole from the British, who originally coined the term around 1820. Its origin comes from the way in which animals will stomp down plants in the wild (or your garden) when they want to lie down comfortably for a nap.
