09/15/05: "cracker" was regional slang

Posted by: MR_MUCUS


IIRC it referred to Georgia white trash who weren't slave masters, but whip CRACKING goons. Naturally, like most slang, it's lost its original meaning to the point few know what its source is. Like how "gang bang" meant "gang rape" and "boner" meant something nonsexual.
