GUEST,Q35 | Origin: Jimmy Crack Corn and I Don't Care (59* d) | RE: Jimmy Crack Corn and I Don't Care | 08 Dec 06 |
Reading this and several other threads on the subject convinces me of the vastness of "folk etymologies" in Anglo-Saxon culture and their blending with the African-American experience. The canvas is so broad and deep that definitive solutions are seldom possible. "Southern Gentleman" offers a perfect example of their enduring nature and complexity. He gives an iron-clad origin for an improbable theory. |
