I’ve heard it several times over the years and on here a few times. What exactly is a “coonass”? Thanks

It's what the Cajuns call themselves. It's not derogatory to some, to others it is.

You can call a coonass a coonass even if they aren't they think it's funny .

I lived in Louisiana for a few years due to work. I asked some friends living there and they explained that a coonass is a local redneck. A Cajun is someone that is raised there, grew up with the culture, a coonass is a local good ole boy redneck, They said you can be a coonass, you are born Cajun. I don't know if that's the correct definition but it seemed reasonable to me.

There is an old apocryphal legend they received the moniker at Chalmette 8 January 1815 from a comment by General Jackson.

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."

Someone from Leweezeeanna or Loozeeanna whichever you prefer but around the SEC it’s usually referring to someone that went to LSU 😁

Could well be but was told it originally came from the District in France that the French came from while in Nova Scotia before the exile down to the Louisiana country.
