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.

A coonass lives on the east side of the Sabine river.

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.

Part black, part French Cajun. That would be Creole not Cajun, not Coonass.

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