Ken that what us guy were in the wood today for.Here's part of my hunting gang out in the wood during a lunch break it was 70 degrees todayMel, I wonder if it is possible that the young lady (or any modern urban dweller) could learn the meaning of the word and then find it acceptable? Or are we at the point where we must change our unoffensive terminology to please the intolerant? OHDinadan wrote: ↑Fri Nov 06, 2020 11:28 pm Nice buck in that photo, Ken.
Cool about the pigs, Scott, but what I really like is that trail winding back through the trees. Very intriguing!
Regarding acceptable terminology, I was recently informed by my daughter that I needed to say raccoon, not coon. She had a friend over one night and I turned on the outside light to see if any critters were out there. Often raccoons will be under the feeders rooting for sunflower seed at night. Anyway, I remarked that I did not see any coons. My daughter told me later that her friend (who is not a country girl) asked if I really thought that black men might be in the back yard. So I need to clean up my language. I think possum is still okay ...
It is interesting. I used to encounter a similar problem during my working years. I had a man working for me from south Louisiana who was a cajun. He was proud of his heritage and he loved to be called a coon-ass. He preferred the label and explained to me that any person with that heritage liked to be called a coon-ass. It made the Bride horribly uncomfortable for me to use the term no matter how much I 'splained to her that it was not a derogatory label and, in fact, a preferred one. He was a great story teller and we enjoyed many hours working together. He never ran out of stories.Old Hunter wrote: ↑Sun Nov 08, 2020 12:20 pmMel, I wonder if it is possible that the young lady (or any modern urban dweller) could learn the meaning of the word and then find it acceptable?

My friend, we reached that point ages ago. You would not believe what we have had to change/delete over here.Old Hunter wrote: ↑Sun Nov 08, 2020 12:20 pmMel, I wonder if it is possible that the young lady (or any modern urban dweller) could learn the meaning of the word and then find it acceptable?

Thankfully, we out here in Saskatchewan (for the most part), still have are guns, decent politicians, and freedom of speech. Watching what's happening in other places/provinces/countries, is very sad, and for the most part, expected. I guess people don't learn from the past/history, or intentionally ignore itcudgee wrote: ↑Sun Nov 08, 2020 8:12 pmMy friend, we reached that point ages ago.
