"Oh Law"

Does anyone know what "Oh Law" means? I think it must be the locals way of saying, "Oh, Lord."

Yes, you are right. I have relatives who are native to Mississippi, and I had an elderly aunt who said that all the time. It was actually considered slightly swearing, because it was using the Lord's name in vain.

Thank you, Georgia for your reply.

I just love the way Jan gets the local dialogue down pat.
