I was once describing cochon de lait, boucherie, boudin, etc to a group of friends in NYC, and I dropped the term coonass describing some of my cajun baws, and the whole room stopped and everyone just stared at me like I had three eyeballs.
Trying to explain that I was not describing anyone of minority status was challenging and didnt help the situation.

Same exact thing happen to me in Atlanta. They insisted I never say that again and I laughed in their face and told them it's a pretty normal term in south Louisiana.

I was attending a conference in Illinois for work, referred to myself as a coonass, and it was as it the needle scratched and the room just stopped.
A friend sitting next to me leaned in and said, "you can't say that word." I tried explaining that, I could refer to myself anyway I wanted. Still didn't go well. Had a brief talk with management. Very glad the manager was from the South and quietly told me not to say it outside of Louisiana again.
