when I grew up, people from NC were known as “tarheels”. Wonder if that is now a hate word?

tarheel is a compliment. It came from a comment that NC units didn't run in a fight, as if their heals were stuck down with tar.

Now cheese heads is another issue. When attempting to insult people from Wisconsin are we going to have to call that the C-word?
