I too, looked up the word using Copernic and found a column appearing in Blue
Bird Junction, Wills Point, TX. I suspect one would have to be a follower of
the column to fully appreciate it.. . but, it contained this line: "Mr.
McGregor took the bill dookie out of the barn and sunk in down in the soft
dirt." Like Walter said, "I guess the terms are Southern."

Dave, I thought bill dookie and sharpshooter were fairly common
names for a digging 'spade,' which I use quite often for digging
irises. I much prefer a digging fork, however.
I found text references for the same using Google, but did not find
any pictures. I guess the terms are southern!
