Honky to you! Well, down here in Texas, we call dance halls honky tonks. I wonder if its origins are related to what you're talking about. And then there's Mick Jagger who sang about the honky tonk woman. He might have been talking about me, I don't know. Whaddaya think, honky? KJ That’s MS. Honky to you!

Same for Cracker. The only surefire name that you can call a redneck to make him mad is queer. Call one of them a queer and the jury will rule that you had it coming. People in my area proudly call themselves Crackers. The Crackers were the earliest settlers in and around the Okefenokee Swamp. A distinct way of life grew out in this insular pocket with different folkways that were part Indian and part from the land. Crackers were generally unlettered to a man and woman as there was no government, no schools, and no real roads in the swamp. When the railroads came, the incoming residents discovered that the swamps were full of alligators and ignorant, toothless, Crackers. Thus Cracker became a pejorative among whites. Mandatory education erased Crackerdom and only the blacks remember it as a bad name. There is an annual cracker festival at, where else, the Stephen Foster Memorial State Park on the banks of the Suwanee river near the Fl Ga border in the town of White Springs. A museum of Cracker Culture is maintained at the site. As Stephen Foster's songs were racist in the extreme, anyone with politically correct sensitivities should give it a wide berth.

The only thing that matters are actions. I'm a cracker. A proud cracker. Go ahead, call me a saltine cracker...I could care less. But here's the thing, with women there is an offensive term. It's not the N word, it's the C word. When someone uses it...you know all you need to know. Words are just words.

There would be no "honky-tonk" bars and therefore no "honky-tonk badonk-a-donk" or goin' "honky-tonkin". I happen to like that word...I grew up in the 70s and like whipping out a retro word every once in awhile to keep the kids on their toes. I am so NOT down with "Whitey" though!

It's just doesn't have the same zip anymore. Question, a show like the Jeffersons and All in the Family would never make it in today's TV world...all the PC going around.
