The Lesser and Greater 'Stobs' of 'Hurt-Done'

In Tennessee and Kentucky, (the Southeastern US) WE ('red bandanas'- a euphemism) have greater and lesser stobs of 'hurt-done' (Chevillage).  A stob is 'Mountain or less correctly Appalachian' for a post, also known as chevillage (peg) or stang (modern Norwegian -post/pole).  The Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia) is the lesser stob carved into a point and driven with a non-metallic hammer in the ground of a irritating neighbor to cause minor problems.  The greater stob is Rhododendron.  The thickets were called "Hells", they give the impression of many 'eyes' watching and old people used to tell stories of smelling sulfur and seeing the "Devil" in the thickets.  The Rhododendron is cut in a special way, sharpened and driven into the ground of an enemy or 'neighbor' who threatens bodily harm or death.  The Rhododendron stob causes paranoid thoughts and insanity with "right intent".  Hurt-done is an extremely old Southern US euphemism for a 'curse'.  These plants have been imported to the U.K., in the 17th and 18th century.
