Howdy,

In my last post, I almost wrote that God could "keep Her cotton-pickin'
hands" off my child, but went with the intentionally-misspelled
"god-done hands" instead, because it suddenly occurred to me that the
colloquialism "cotton-pickin'" is probably racist.

I'm sure the everyone here will claim that they've always known that and
what the hell is wrong with me, but...

What other "colorful, home-spun, innocent"-seeming colloquialisms (man,
that's hard to type) do you suppose we use that are actually offensive?

Dave
