Yep, that's way down there in sho-nuf coon-ass territory! (Maybe you can tell me -- how offensive a term is that? I've never really known how people feel about it, just heard it a lot.)
LOL... it's quite popular with Cajuns. I had a Coon Ass sticker on my old Dodge ;-)
It's not really seen, as far as I can tell, as derogatory, though I'm sure it was originally meant to be. It's more... affectionate? Coonie is another term they use.
I know in some places in the South Coon or Coonie is a term for blacks, but not in South LA (G)
