Poor Dumbass Don must not have been over to Marshfield, VT during his years there...
[bleep] Mountain and [bleep] Pond, both right near that little town. I've tripped over a more than a few [bleep] when stalking caribou out in the tundra. My brother continues to use that term for tussocks. It causes the rest of the family to blanch. Not that we didn't used to use it thoughtlessly ourselves. But we went PC for cause. He's on his second black wife.... The first one didn't last because of an affinity for a white powder - and the fact that she was bug-fug nuts...

Elmer Keith and his Inuit guide were coming back to an Arctic village from a caribou hunt when one of the guide's little sons came running out to meet 'em.
"Daddy, Daddy! Johnny fell down 'tween the [bleep]!"
"Oh, he'll get out all right."
"But he's in there head-first!"
Elmer said that when they ran there, two wee legs were waving ever more slowly in the air.

Must have been small tussocks.

The first moose (53") that I ever deliberately used a CNS shot on(just behind and below the left ear at @ 30 yards) went straight down of course, with all four legs under him. Wedged between two 3 foot high tussocks. I was hunting solo.
That was interesting...

A bull elk that I killed high in the Sapphires in 1957 slid downhill and came to a stop under a high tiddly-winks pile of lodgepole blow-down. I still don't know how I ever managed to get all that meat out. Just getting over that mountain of lodgepole poles was a struggle.
Cruising timber 'way back in the Missions in 1955, I fell head-first into a similar lodgepole blow-down, with my arms pinned along my sides, my shoulders supported by two poles, and my head a foot or two above the ground. If Tommy Farr hadn't been there to pull me out, my bones'd still be there.
I usually cruised alone, but that day I was showing Tommy how 'twas done.

the term was once widely used for all sorts of things, including products such as soap and chewing tobacco, but most often for geographic features such as hills and rocks. In the U.S., more than hundred "[bleep]" and other place names now considered racially offensive were changed in 1962 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, but many local names remained unchanged.[1] I've lost all respect for Cain and his playing the race card.

Guess you showed HIM!  We have some Nubian goats we bottle-raised from when they were the size of cats. Every goat Bob amongst them, got a hoof caught in these clumps of cascara we have. They'd put a hoof on a trunk to reach high for the leaves, slip, and get it wedged. Each goat did it once. Without intervention, there'd be three goat skeletons hanging from their wrists in my woods.
The CENTER will hold.

I'll cut him a little slack - maybe he didn't know the timing- the Socialist Media have been emphasizing that "the timing of the paint-over is unknown" - which is apparently not the case- I mean- it was 25 years ago! but the spin is in.
Cain was right- that nomenclature is "insensitive". And apparently Perry agrees, so I've no problem with either of them.

Those straight down arms didn't help a bit in that muck. If two companions hadn't pulled my face out of the mud and water, I'd be there yet. There was not a darned thing I could do to help myself. Talk about being helpless!

I think most of this schitt is how we got BHO elected as POTUS. I'm going to bet that Cain never experienced one second of discrimination in his whole life and I'd bet a dollar to a pig turd that he has used his own insensitive "N-word" more than once in that lifetime. I'm no Perry fan, and now Cain has a strike against him as well. I am so tired of these guys tearing each other down and not telling us what the HELL they are going to do as President. None of them really have a plan except to get into office and do the same thing every president has done, advance their OWN agenda.
It's gotten to the point where people can't even talk any more because somebody is going to be offended by some aspect of the language and start pouting.

If thats what Perry calls his camp its out of line. Way out of line!
I have had a camp for 47 years and little or no liquor gets consumed there. If someone brings it then its theirs.
The language is decent there. Of course we may tell a joke but the camp is called: The camp. ===================== What a frikken goofball. How many times have you been busted during the circle jerk,Liberace?

The word appears a lot and I'm not sure how you refer to something if you don't use the name that is on the map. I can't count the number of fish I've caught in blind [bleep] cove, just like it's named on the map. Thank you Nathan! I know of several ash juniper covered knobs (one in Travis Co.!) with the same name! As well as on the map. But now reads "Negro-head" on the quad. I dunno why they don't find that just as offensive... BN

Yeah, it's like when my youngest son was dis-qualified from UIL Poetry competition in Jr. Hi. when he recited a Kipling poem about a battery horse named "Snarleyow"

*scratchin' head*
How'd Cain get drug into this?
As to the whining and crying of the article's author, I don't feel his pain - at all. The term has nothing to do with humans.
I picked enough [bleep] (rocks) while farming to build the damn fence between the US and Mexico.
On this, Perry would have gotten a clean-pass, but for his capitulation on the subject. Good grief - grow a pair.

The use of that word in the context of a part of town where killing is rampant got me kicked off a popular forum.If you are really offended by that word don't go to Africa,both colors use it quite often.There is even a bunch of "high yeller's" that live in Reboth that call themselves "Bastards" and are proud of it.

The term refers to a rock - pretty simple really.
