Derogatory term for black people. Similar to "nigger." Originally a shortened form of the word "raccoon," used in reference to the animal. The black eye masks and noctural habits of the animal paralleled the characteristics of typical robbers and thiefs. The stereotype was then applied to black people.

When a person gets so high/ drunk that they drift to another dimension. Most cases of "cooning" involve one person in the alternate dimension and a group of others trying to control said person. On rare occasions the "coon" needs medical attention, but more times than not, this is not the case.
"Last night I was at Landin's house smoking and Justin started Cooning/Coon all over the place. We tried to calm him down, but his mom came and got him anyway.".
"The more and more we smoked, we slowly started to see him start to Cooning/Coon, it was a disaster."

Coon is an abbreviated term for racoon, majorly derived from the word 'coonhound'. Coons are small nocturnal carnivores (Procyon lotor) of North America that are chiefly grey, they have black masks and bushy ringed tails. They live chiefly in trees, and have a varied diet including small animals, fruits, and nuts.
This is often perceived as a derogatory term for black people, however, the word is completely innocent as long as you are talking about the small, furry animal.

I haven't heard that in a coon's age.
