[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 551008, member: 9859"] I don't need a website for racial slurs, just a family reunion around Thanksgiving time...:wink2: Seriously....Crackers a term originated in the South, especially in Florida when the Spaniards call the english speaking settlers “Quáqueros,” slang for white quakers..... .....Then, the term cracker was handed down to the Florida cowboy who didnt use ropes and lasso's to herd cattle but rather dogs and bull whips...hence the sound of a crackling whip... .....Modern usage, "Florida Cracker" is used informally by some Floridians to indicate that their family has lived there for many generations; and/or that they were born and raised in Florida. ......I always thought for the longest time it meant Po folks who added cracker meal to add substance to what little food they had to eat....but thats just an old wives tale....
