I’ve lived here my whole life, and everyone I know, including myself obviously, who grew up in more rural areas has known the term most of their lives.
You say it’s civil war old, which its roots may go back to, but it was popularized in the 30’s-60’s in the south. It’s a concept that is still very much in living memory with a handful of towns, particularly in Alabama, that still practice versions of this.
Uh yeah that’s more or less what the article is about? I wasn’t trying to say “it’s not used anymore” I only meant that the term was coined a long time ago.
Uh my guy it’s still used regularly in the south.
