If anyone is wondering
N word toes
Not as messed up as Midwesterners calling stones sticking out of the ground risking dulling the mower blades n-word heads...
Couldn't believe that one when I heard it used by a racist country bumpkin dumbass.
I'm from the Midwest and I have never heard that. Goddamn that's a bad one lol
Maybe it's specifically the Ozarks?
Could be! Or maybe just a more rural thing. I grew up on the border of a major city and while it was generally frowned upon, I was no stranger to a lot of charged terms.
It (embarrassingly) took me until my 20s to realize the phrase I used to say something was poorly cobbled something together meant "rigged up like a black guy did it" - I assumed it was some ancient English word.
Never hear this one.
Yep. Caused quite a stir at Christmas one year!
