I never knew this. My grandmother used to call me this all the time when I was being lazy.

My boss, who is a man of African descent, corrected me on this

It's almost sad the amount of things white people have turned racist.

I actually only learned the porch monkey thing about 4 years ago.

The same with jews not actually being white (could have fooled me), and blacks and water melon/grapes/fried chicken.

My parents occasionally called me a yard ape. I'm guessing this is probably considered racist as well, but I've never heard it in NC and we're pretty all encompassing in our racial slurs 'round here.

ahaahha that video is awesome

nig nog

and rosario dawson is hot

7/31/2008 8:37:37 PM

^^ i don't think yard ape would be construed as racist, but you'd have to ask a blackie about that.

7/31/2008 8:39:08 PM

I learned about "high yeller" (the redneck way of saying high yellow) this year. I never heard it before.

7/31/2008 8:41:14 PM

^ what does that one mean?

7/31/2008 8:42:28 PM

One time my roommate (black guy covered in puke in my gallery) and I went out to get something to eat at a bar. He went to the bathroom, so I went to the bar and ordered myself a beer and a burger and got him a Budweiser and some chicken wings.

The conversation when he came back was as follows:

"Hey man, I went ahead and ordered you some chicken wings."
"What?!"
"I ordered you some chicken wings."
"What the fuck man?! You think that just because I'm black I automatically love chicken wings?!"
"But John, you love chicken wings."
"You're right. I do. Sorry."

I'm from PG County, which is 75% black, and I didn't hear any of these terms until I moved to the progressive south.

I never understood this, watermelon and fried chicken are awesome. I don't eat meat anymore but I used to love fried chicken. Nothing wrong with that in my mind.

7/31/2008 10:13:13 PM

^ yeah racism makes no sense

7/31/2008 10:14:11 PM

i can't believe that this amount of people didnt know that porch monkey was a racist term

7/31/2008 10:41:41 PM

I would love to hear an etymology of the term "porch monkey". If anyone would care to be a little sport and indulge us into what went in to making the term "porch monkey", that would be great.

7/31/2008 11:35:18 PM

Is it really that hard to figure out?

7/31/2008 11:39:14 PM

I just wanted to see if someone would do it, urban dictionary style.

Don't think it will win me any continued learning credits, but good to know I guess.
