Long time ago, an old timer down the road from me (since departed for that Great Garden In The Sky) told me about whipping okra that was "being lazy" like yours. He got that from his father and said to just beat it good with a stick. I've never had to do it or seen it done but will be interested to see if old Linn was right.
