    Michael, what does that mean please?

    Okay, without being snotty, the neignbors think she could have moved much

    It's not "snotty", and it isn't attitude. I live in the US, I don't
    know exactly what you mean. Ophelia's IP address is the UK. We don't
    know what this means.

    Sorry, I've been busy this week. The term is slang. I suppose it means the
    woman is off. I take it to mean she is an uneducated (not in the literal
    sense) person that takes things to complete extremes.

    Thanks Dan. I still don't know what it means

    The comment about the neighbor being "out there" means that the
    neighbor is a little crazy. "Out there" means the same as "wacky" or
    "nutty" or "slightly off her chum".
    The other comment about moving, I think, sounds like this neighbor is
    a bit of a redneck and there are other neighborhoods that the neighbor
    might be more comfortable in. Rednecks tend to be intolerant of others
    who aren't rednecks and tend to also cause trouble for no reason.
    That's a blanket statement, I know, and I'm sure I'm being rude, but I
    don't know how else to explain it.
    I'm just guessing that's what Michael meant; however, I lived in
    Missouri myself and have relatives near where Michael lives, and this
    kind of tension happens often, so I think that's what Michael meant.

    Too funny. Ophelia, based on her IP, appears to be from the UK. They
    don't speak English over there, of course.

    :-)

    I look up "chum" in my dictionary. I have no clue, not one. The word
    is in there, of course. It has a couple of meanings. The phrase "off
    her chum" doesn't fit either one. I have no idea what that means. Can
    you explain?

    We use chum to mean close friend.

    http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/chum?view=uk

    it is a term not in much use these days though.

    I have heard the term 'off her chump' which means she is mad, but it is
    slang🙂
