re: Is the phrase “hunker down” trashy?

“ But what about “hunkering down”? “Hunker” (which we rarely hear without “down”) first emerged in the Scots language in the 18th century. It originally referred to squatting down on the balls of one’s feet, keeping low to the ground but still ready to move if necessary. The word likely comes from a Germanic root with descendants in other languages, all having to do with crouching, such as the Dutch huiken, the Old Norse húka and the German hocke.”

You can make a case that its used by trashy people. frick the haters in this thread.
