Hello everybody,
I am french and i try to read The grapes of wrath.

I have some difficulties to understand several expressions, can anyone help me please ?

For example, what does this mean :

"I'd a walked her if my dogs wasn't pooped out"
(chapter 2)

In chapter 4, Joad and Casy are talking about pulling girls in the grass - i think i understand this... - and then Casy says : "You [Joad] was always too busy pullin'little girls'pigtails when i give you the holy sperit"

And finally, please what does "to figger" mean ?

thank you !
