    Huh, TIL. I honestly expected it to be related to a really old racist term and not to French

    Coonass, or Coon-ass, is a term for a person of Cajun ethnicity. Some view it as derogatory, however many Cajuns embrace the name. The term is believed to originate from the French word conasse, meaning a fool.
