Spyder,
I call myself a redass.....part redneck and part coonass! People laugh when I tell them that!:-)

Being called a gringo would make me happy. It would mean I am on vacation and not busting butt to make it happen here.

Bobber, I'm with you. I'll happily be a gringa if it means that I'm on vacation.

Coonass comes from cajun. Some coonasses get offended if called so by otheres, but I'm quite proud of my heritage.

Divingcowgirl, redass ain't bad!!

Oh my gosh, Spyder, I just went and looked the word up and I am so sorry that I typed it. I would never, ever use that kind of word in conversation and I should have looked it up before I used it here. I have edited my post and I sincerely apologise to everyone who read it.

Because I come from a unique culture myself, I understand that there is a huge difference between the language/words used with family and others of common culture and the same language/words used by, for lack of a better word, outsiders.

Again, I'm sorry.

No apology necessary. In Louisiana, it ain"t a bad word.

I ain't in Louisiana. Apology stands.
