C**n... I can understand it being banned when used to refer to blacks, but in hillbilly c**n just means c**n.. The ring-tailed, four-legged, washes-their-food, fun-to-watch, fury kind.

Nonny, that usage would be 'coon, a contraction of "Raccoon" - the apostrophe makes all the difference. Although knowing the moderators around here, it probably won't.

Apparently it did, as it seems, did the capital C in 'C**n cheese' in the post below yours. As to the ', the only time hillbillyese gets an apostrophe is when a translator puts it there. ;->
