re: Went too deep in to google. Found out we ain't supposed to say coonass

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.
