[PAR35]

Reading 'Dark Skies' well researched post reminds me that the proper insult for a Cracker is 'Peckerwood', an obvious derivitive of 'woodpecker' and a more specific insulting term for the lowland or midland poor whites who live in the piney woods.

And does anyone think we could be having this discussion about any group other than southern white males?

Well, nowadays most Crackers (and I am one) have a pretty good sense of self-deprecating humor. That makes them a hard group to insult.

I recommend that same tactic to all ethnic groups if they want to enjoy life and keep the knots out of the knickers.
