*raises hand* umm, please explain for the hard of thinking what does 'cotton' mean in this context? Is it to do with understanding (which is a similar usage to ours 'cotton on' meaning to get the point) or is it do with putting up or having to do with...?

To "cotton" to something means, generally, to take a liking to.

I'm impressed- it took only ten minutes to bait and trap an english person with this one....Score!
I bay-ut the english don' cotton to thee-us. As for me: Today I don' cotton to the hitch in mah git' along. Translation I: I feel sick today and it makes me grouchy. or Translation II: I hurt my foot or leg and have to limp around. This makes me grouchy.
