Good catch hightor, he didn't refer to gooey as a cracker, he only turned around a stupid thing that gooey wrote. But I did get a chuckle at g's explanation of the whip cracking nonsense.

This should be interesting. Do you have an "alternative" history of the word "cracker" being used as a pejorative word?

I'll not hold my breath waiting your answer as I figure you don't have one.

@glitterbag,

The only thing that is stupid is your reply. The general consensus is that the term originated in Georgia for the sound of the whip Georgians used to drive cattle and was later used by slaves under the same whip

I note with interest your decision at my explanation but you offered none yourself. Your ignorance is Illuminating.

Of course she doesn't... she's the type of person who loves to hear the sound of her own shrill voice.
