(.noun)
A word describing a Southern person with no sense of style. Directly related to the word "racoon" as how many Southern
people refer to them as "coons", viewed as tacky and drawl by upper-class people.
A slang term regularly used by people of the
hipster or
indie variety to humiliate conforming people who tend to follow whatever trend comes up, regardless of how ridiculous or audacious. Also directly related to how Southern states are often the last to catch on to fads.
"That
guy is wearing those
silly band bracelets. They're so tacky, I have no idea why everyone loves them so much." said Jenna.
"Ha! They're coons, they don't know any better." replied
Timmy.
