RIVERSIDE — A Riverside restaurant is holding a contest to rename its "squaw" bread after a customer refused to use the name, saying it is offensive.
Backstreet Restaurant owner Keith Holloway tells the Riverside Press-Enterprise (http://bit.ly/1HYpPJI ) that a woman pointed to the dark brown, molasses-sweetened bread on the chalk menu board when ordering a few weeks ago. When asked why she wouldn't say the name, she said it was a slur.
Holloway promptly covered the name with a scrap of paper, temporarily renaming it brown bread. He is taking nominations for a new moniker through the end of the month.

I wish I was part Indian. 3 of my cousins get free money for being one quarter Ho Chunk. Casino money.
Their mom gets twice as much, and it’s more than most people make in a year.
Anyway, this a stunt by the restaurant. Owner didn’t have to go public with this, if it even happened at all.
Glad that you recognized the term!
It’s such a good descriptive one that I was afraid is beginning to disappear from the language.
A good synonym is “conniption fit”, but it sounds a bit dignified to use in many contexts.
“Hissy” rhymes with “prissy”, which often applies to the same individuals, too, particularly the men.

You/they are doing it wrong.
Scat bread.
North American Female Aboriginal Bread.
