@Lordyaswas,

Cracker is a derogatory term for an uneducated southerner with 'poor social skills'... think redneck.

Mo told me the other day that the man who whipped the slaves was known as the "cracker" and that is how the term originated.

I'd never heard this before. Has anyone else?

@boomerang,

In reading I see that the whip-cracking aspect is more about the gathering and herding of cattle and not associated with the cruelty of black slave issue.

although not mentioned in the article, a more modern meaning is the describing of white girls with asses like Saltines. Flat and white. More of an urban dictionary thing.

@Ragman,

As i understand it and have read in more than one source, cattle herders from south Georgia and from Florida would drive their herds to Tampa, where they would be sold to buyers from the Spanish colonies. Local people called them whip crackers, because they used whips to drive the herds. Eventually, it became a pejorative because the locals looked down on the herders.

@Setanta,

That's my understanding, which was explained to me when I was growing up in South Florida.

Yes; I took the inference that he was cracking the whip over them.

Okay, but when I was in the 6th grade, I was told that the story of Adam & Eve was proven by the fact that to this day, women had one more rib than men.
