I had no idea that “cotton pickin mind” had now become a racist insult. It was always just a euphemism for people who didn’t want to say somebody was out of their “G -D” mind or even out of their (obscenity) mind. It may have been meant to rhyme with “frickin.”

Oh well. I guess if you look hard enough, you can find “racism” anywhere.

The saying "cotton pickin", was around LONG before anyone thought to clean up the 'f' word by saying 'frickin', instead.

I take great umbrage to your racist comment regarding “frickin”.
That is an insult to all us fricks.
Oh. Wait. You said frick, not d*ck.
Nevermind. LOL
