The word "more agin" is a regional variant of "more again," commonly heard in parts of the southern United States. The word "agin" is pronounced with a soft "g" sound, which represents the sound of the letter "j" in the phonetic alphabet. In IPA transcription, the word would be written as /mɔr əˈdʒɛn/. This spelling reflects the unique dialectical pronunciation of the word, which can often cause confusion for those not familiar with the variation.
"More agin" is an informal expression commonly used in certain English dialects, particularly in rural or old-fashioned communities. It is often used as a way to emphasize disagreement or disapproval, suggesting a stronger opposition or aversion compared to simply being "against" or "opposed to" something.
This phrase is composed of two main parts. The word "more" in this context is used as an intensifier, amplifying the degree of opposition or dislike. It implies a heightened level of disagreement or refusal. "Agin", on the other hand, is a colloquial contraction of the word "against". It denotes being in opposition to a particular idea, action, or person.
When used together, "more agin" signifies a strong objection or resistance towards something. It is an expression of outright refusal or disapproval, often used to emphasize one's unwavering position against a certain belief, proposal, or behavior. Similar phrases like "dead set against" or "adamantly opposed" convey a similar meaning.
Due to its colloquial nature, "more agin" is primarily used in informal conversations or in literature depicting specific dialects or characters. It may not be widely recognized outside of the regions where it is prevalent, and may come across as old-fashioned or quaint to those unfamiliar with the expression.
