While catching a few mullet Friday I instructed a cousins teenage son to "grab me a croaker sack off the wharf to put these fish in". Kid looked at me like I was retarded and informed he had never heard that term in his life.

i thought everyone knew what a croaker sack was, but when i was a kid, our family called them "tow" sacks

i dont know why called tow sacks,, but most of the horse feed was delivered in those sacks,,, we had thousands of them stacked up,,, later when we quit growing field corn for livestock,, corn came in those sacks

The only thing I ever used them for was to hold game roosters when I cut their combs. All you had to do was lay the sack out flat, roll the rooster up in it, and he could only just lay there with his head sticking out. Back when I did that sort of thing. I kind of miss those days. Damn tree hugging hippies.

Like most things in the southern dialect, it is a mis-pronunciation of something else.

It is a Crocus bag. Crocus being another name for burlap.

Being from south Alabama, yes, we always called them croker sacks.

I live in KY now. A few years ago, my wife asked some of our friends who have a farm to bring some "croker sacks" to a function. Her idea was to have a sack race... the lady brought plastic bags from Kroger. LMAO!
