Oh, you guys in the South must read coon ass differently than I (northeast). We consider it a derogatory term for a black person, just one notch above the N word. I had a bumper sticker once a long time ago that said "I love Maine Coons." (a type of cat). My mom's friend said "I didn't know there were any coons in Maine." It was considered mildly scandalous to say. Funny, though.
Anyway, if these DUhs adopt that one, they may some trouble brewing.
