The Peckerwood name that so many white youth proudly embrace, derives from the great 'Peckerwood Tree' The Peckerwood tree is a type of tree that was chosen as a hanging tree when the negroe's lynched. Thus it is a constant reminder of what has been as well as what is to come if the tarbabies attempt to overcome there own lips.

Someone who eventually shoots himself in the groin while playing quick-draw with a sawed off shotgun. A person of low I.Q., unlimited paranoia and, generally speaking, a southern accent. Also known as a "fucking yee-haw." He loves lynching black people and is haunted forever by the African-Americans who return from the dead to mess with him in his dreams/nightmares. Peckerwood hell is forever! His love of the NRA will be forever dulled by the tiny penis and balls that he blew off his scrawny ass crotch. His final comment, "No big thing!"
George W. Bush is the ultimate peckerwood. He's a drunk. He's an idiot. He's only 5'7" tall, but he orders the world to believe he's a six-footer. He intimidated or bribed the L.A. Times into calling him 5'11 3/4." If he ever falls off his mother's high-heeled shoes (yick), unless he lands on his petrified and empty head, he will be crushed in the fall. During his simultaneously evil and lame presidency, he drunkenly choked-himself-out with a pretzel. Then one of his dogs, in an apparent effort to bring the Crawford Creep back to consciousness, peed on him. Now that's a drunken peckerwood!

Peckerwood originally was used to describe the men who worked at Pecker's Wood Mills. James Pecker was a Yankee carpetbagger who built lumber mills in east Texas and Louisiana after the War Between The States, and who only hired White Southerners; therefore, those who worked at "Pecker's wood mills" became known as peckerwoods.
Over time, the term became popular in prison, as a way to distinguish White men whom were willing to fight and defend themselves in prison, from those who were willing to be victimized by others. To this day, various White prison gangs use the title proudly, and even the prison administration is particularly afraid of peckerwoods, even more so than they are of other gang members.
A peckerwood is essentially a White man, usually from the South and from a poor background, who shows little fear and is ready and willing to fight anyone who challenges or threatens him. Peckerwoods in many cases tend to spend years in and out of the prison system, as this willingness to engage in violence and refusal to accept social changes often results in long prison terms. Others eventually wise up and remove themselves from society, choosing to live in the mountains or the swamps of the South.
Example 1:
Inmate Tyrone: "Man, we should go and fuck that White boy over there..."
Inmate Jerome: "Nah, son, he a peckerwood- he'll get all his homeboys after us!"
Example 2:
Officer Jackson: "Inmate, get your ass in the cell!"
Inmate Hank: "Fuck you coon!" (throws object at officer)
Example 3:
Billy: "Hey lets go and hang out down by the bowling alley..."
Peckerwood : (grabs baseball bat)
Billy: "What you need that for?"
Peckerwood: "Damn spics down there..."

A harsh, rarely used insult towards caucasians. The meaning of the word is in it. Stereotypically, a lot of caucasians have small Penis's and negroes who are known to have larger Penis's often use this word to insult them.
