This is what you are ignoring when you hear scratching and rustling on your rooftop. No, it was not Santa. Still not sure how it was getting up there, but once we caught it.... it tasted just fine.

To quote Jed Clampett...."Yeee doogies...that's what I like about possum leftovers...tastes just as good the next day." :facepalm:

When did it become o'possum? What's wrong with just "possum"?

IIRC, it's always been "opossum" if being more correct but most people I've ever been around here in the U.S., in GA, AL and CA, usually say "possum".
--------------------------------
An etymology excerpt from Wikipedia:

"The word "opossum" is borrowed from the Powhatan language and was first recorded between 1607 and 1611 by John Smith (as opassom) and William Strachey (as aposoum)........."

and

"Following the arrival of Europeans in Australia, the term "possum" was borrowed to describe distantly related Australian marsupials of the suborder Phalangeriformes,[7] which are more closely related to other Australian marsupials such as kangaroos....."
