What is the derogatory name used for people in your state

I'm from Baker.

There used to be nicknames used by Uptown New Orleans folks to make fun of people from Da Parish (St. Bernard) and also the working class people from Metry (Metairie). They called the girls, “charmers” (pronounced exaggeratedly, “CHAHRM-ahs)

Thanks. I finally understand the line “…charmers in my Chevy” from Philip Melancon’s song Down in St. Bernard.

If you can find his out of print CD Hurricane Romance, it is a gem.

MAGA cult. Of course that is the term used by print media and Dems in Ark. The 64% of us that voted for Trump just tell them to eat shite.

Now that is something I would have never guessed, what do they prefer, Indigenous or what?

I think this whole "you have to call them _____" bullshite was started by people who just decided those people get offended by those terms. Like Indian, I was watching something about "Indian Relays". Its a horse racing thing Indians do where they ride a horse on a horse track.. They are racing one another and then at certain points, they have to jump off of their horse and get on another one. They were referring to each other as Indians and the sport is called "Indian".. And its like... So who said we have to call them native Americans? It wasn't even named America when it was just them here..

I understand they were called Indians because when people landed here they thought it was a part of india so they called them Indians..

And like Eskimos. That term is supposedly not the appropriate term to use, but the people who correct you know just as many eskimos as I know... 0.. So how do they know it offends them. And here I am learning they love it.

The only thing I know about eskimos is that they are supposedly not supposed to drink alcohol if they fly. I don't know if its true, but for some reason I always thought that was funny, but evidently alcoholism is huge among Eskimos. And evidently if they have alcohol on a flight because it takes them less to get really drunk, but if they like to be called eskimos then who is determining who gets offended by being called certain names?

Hell, they even went as far as to get the famous "Wop Salad" cancelled and renamed to "Italian Salad".

"They" as in not Italians. It's still called Wop salad in some places like Rocky's.
