British Dictionary definitions for coon
coon
noun
 Both the song “Zip Coon” and its resulting character gave rise to coon songs, a racist genre of music and parody of Black culture popular between around 1880–1920, often accompanied by Blackface in performance and advertising. Leading up to the Civil War, through the Jim Crow era and into the 20th century, coon has remained an extremely offensive racial slur against Black people. In its history, coon has also been used to disparage Native American and Aboriginal peoples. Much less heinous is the Maine Coon or Maine Coon cat, a breed of cat known for its long hair, large size, and striking coloring, which might be said to resemble the markings on a raccoon. Folk tales like to claim the cat is actually part raccoon, but the cats were probably bred from long-haired cats carried over to the American continent on ships from Europe. Coon cat is also a name for the cacomistle, a smaller relative of the raccoon. How is coon used in real life? The racial slur coon not only implies many intensely harmful stereotypes about Black people but it also dredges up the painful history of Blackface. Because of its history as a slur, avoid using coon as a shortened form for raccoon. As a clipping of raccoon, coon does appear, however, in coonskin, a raccoon pelt, mostly as seen in the coonskin cap associated with such American frontiersmen as Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett.

The Black and Tan Coonhound(also known as the ‘American Black and Tan Coonhound’) is an American breed likely deriving from crosses between the Bloodhoundand the black and tan Virginia Foxhound. It was bred to ‘tree’ (track through the treetops) bears and raccoons over rugged terrain in the Appalachian and Ozark mountain ranges. The Black and Tan Coonhound hunts by scent with its nose to the ground like a bloodhound. It was usually deployed at night, trained to chase its prey up a tree and bay at it until the hunter arrived for the kill. In 1945, the Black and Tan Coonhound became the first Coonhound variety to be recognized by the American Kennel Club. The Redbone Coonhoundand Plott Houndwere later recognized in the AKC’s Miscellaneous Class;

Coon is a highly offensive racial slur. It is extensively used both in American and Australian slang. In America it is a disparaging term for an African American person. In Australia it is a derogatory nickname for Aboriginal folks. The origin and meaning of the slur Coon is rather ambiguous. It is usually thought to be a diminutive form of the word raccoon, which is of course a small and ugly animal. Naturally to refer to people as 'raccoons', is very demeaning and dehumanizes them to a large extent. This is why coon is an ethnic slur.

coon
noun
 In the early 1800s, coon was a nickname for a sly person, likened to the clever shiftiness of the animal. Also in the early 1800s, coon was used as a nickname for a member of the Whig political party, who used the animal as their mascot, apparently embracing the animal for its scrappiness. By the 1800s, coon was also being used as an extremely offensive slur for Black people, apparently due to racist comparisons to the appearance or behavior of raccoons. Coon was popularized by a Blackface minstrel song, “Zip Coon,” published around 1830 and notoriously performed by George Dixon. The song gave rise to Zip Coon as a Blackface character, stereotyping and vilifying the speech, appearance, and behavior of Black people. Both the song “Zip Coon” and its resulting character gave rise to coon songs, a racist genre of music and parody of Black culture popular between around 1880–1920, often accompanied by Blackface in performance and advertising.

 Dave Neville, acquainted through their daughters’ attendance of the same college, convinced him to start a new business, Coonan Inc.
The eventual result was the Model C, a more refined version of the original. It retains the linkless barrel, adding dovetail sights and a smoother overall feel. The pivoting trigger remains along with an external extractor. Like everything these days, it benefits from the precision and tight tolerances of modern machining. But just as in his original thesis, it’s the magazine that is the most critical component. His design uses an articulated follower that maintains the proper cartridge angle as the top round is fed. The result is that Coonan pistols feed various bullet designs and weights consistently, even long .357 Magnum cartridges. Now the gun, the flagship of the company today, is called the Coonan Classic. The Coonan design remains the only practical and usable .357 Magnum semi-auto on the market today. Roughly the size of a standard 1911, it is concealable, controllable, accurate and reliable.

 The American Blue Gascon Hound has a strong instinct to tree non-canine pets, which means that he hunts down the animal and pins it in the tree by the method of barking. This breed has a loud bay cry which is a very recognizable trait in the breed, and he can also be used for tracking cougars and foxes by using his amazing scent. Black and Tan Coonhound
The Black and Tan Coonhound is a dog breed that was derived from a bloodhound and a foxhound. He is recognizable by long ears and tail and the black and tan color of the coat. Besides being a working dog he is also a famous trail and tree hound, capable of hunting raccoons and squirrels. He hunts entirely by scent, like most of the dogs, and he is also able to find deer, bears, mountain lions and other ‘big game’ animals. He is powerful and stubborn and he almost never gives up. The Black and Tan Coonhound also makes a great pet, even though he prefers being outdoors. He is very loyal to family members and can be very mellow and calm indoors. He is very reserved with strangers and can bark and howl at them.

Having been involved at every level of that process at one time or another, I can tell you that it is simply difficult. Partnerships start out with the best of intentions only to suffer a falling out. Some companies just seem to fade away. But others endure, keep trying and eventually become successful firms, bringing innovation to the market. Coonan Inc. is an example of such a company. Coonan the Conquerer
Shooters new to the Coonan Classic are likely not aware that Dan Coonan actually started developing this pistol in the late 1970s. His Model A is essentially a product of arguments with his college roommates, and the pistol and its magazine ended up being part of Dan’s master’s thesis. Dan was already a skilled machinist at the time. In fact, he served as an apprentice in manufacturing gyrocopter parts as young as 15. Like many innovators in the firearms industry, he grew up making things by hand on a mill and lathe.

 outdoors, its strong hunting instinct takes over and it can be difficult to turn it from tracking after it starts trailing. As befitting a dog with its heritage, it is strong, independent, and stubborn. The Black and Tan Coonhound is gentle and tolerant with children, but it may be too independent to satisfy a playful child. It is reserved with strangers and in their presence may bay and howl. The Black and Tan Coonhound can run for miles although it is usually content with a moderate jog or long walk, with an occasional excursion into the field. It can wander if it catches a scent, so a safe area is mandatory. Use
The courage of the Coonhound also makes it proficient on the hunt for deer, bear, wolf, cougar and other big game although many US states have restricted the hunting of antlered animals with dogs. However, the primary purpose of the Black and Tan Coonhound is as a raccoon hunting dog. The general impression is that of power, agility and alertness, as well as the ability to cover ground swiftly with powerful rhythmic strides. Each hound has its own distinctive voice which is often recognizable to its owners from a great distance.

Coonhounds were originally bred to be used principally for trailing and treeing raccoon. Coonhounds are scent hounds and run their game entirely by smell. Once the quarry has been cornered or treed, the Coonhound changes his tone of voice to notify his master of his success and location. Coonhounds are first and foremost a working dog, a trail and tree hound, capable of withstanding the rigors of weather and difficult terrain over which they are called upon to work.

The raccoon's scienteefic name, Procyon lotor, is neo-Latin, meanin "afore-dug washer", wi lotor Latin for "washer" an Procyon Latinized Greek frae προ-, "afore" an κύων, "dug". The colloquial abbreviation coon is uised in wirds lik coonskin for fur claedin an in phrases lik auld coon as a self-designation o trappers. In the 1830s, the U.S. Whig Party uised the raccoon as an emblem, causin them tae be pejoratively kent as 'coons' bi thair poleetical opponents, wha saw them as too sympathetic tae African-Americans. Suin efter that it became an ethnic slur, inspecially in uise atween 1880 an 1920 (see coon sang ), an the term is still considered offensive. Taxonomy

Why Is Coon An Ethnic Slur? - Blurtit Why Is Coon An Ethnic Slur?
Why Is Coon An Ethnic Slur?
2 Answers
Answer Question
 In Australia it is a derogatory nickname for Aboriginal folks. The origin and meaning of the slur Coon is rather ambiguous. It is usually thought to be a diminutive form of the word raccoon, which is of course a small and ugly animal. Naturally to refer to people as 'raccoons', is very demeaning and dehumanizes them to a large extent. This is why coon is an ethnic slur. Some others believe that the word coon originated from the Portuguese word 'barracoos' which alludes to a building that was erected specifically to houses slave for sale. The term coon was popularized by a coon caricature. The coon was also depicted as lazy, perpetually frightened, idiotic and childish although he was a fully grown adult. Atothe K answered

Coon hunting or raccoon hunting is the practice of hunting raccoons, most often for their meat and fur. It is almost always done with specially bred dogs called coonhounds, of which there are six breeds, and is most commonly associated with rural life in the Southern United States. Coon hunting is also popular in the rural Midwest. Most coon hunts take place at night, with the dogs being turned loose, trailing and putting the raccoon up a tree without human assistance. Once the raccoon is in the tree, with the dog at the base, it is referred to as "treed", with " treeing " being the active verb form. In addition to meat or fur hunts, there are also competition hunts to demonstrate the speed and skill of the dog. In these the raccoons are not killed, but are treed and released. Some of the largest competition hunts are the Grand American, Autumn Oaks, and Leafy Oaks.

The courage of the Coonhound also makes it proficient on the hunt for deer, bear, wolf, cougar and other big game although many US states have restricted the hunting of antlered animals with dogs. However, the primary purpose of the Black and Tan Coonhound is as a raccoon hunting dog. The general impression is that of power, agility and alertness, as well as the ability to cover ground swiftly with powerful rhythmic strides. Each hound has its own distinctive voice which is often recognizable to its owners from a great distance. General care
Its coat needs only occasional brushing. Most Coonhounds drool to some extent, and the face may need regular wiping. The ears should also be checked regularly to ensure against ear infections. Health
Black and Tan Coonhounds are generally healthy, although there is some risk of hip dysplasia, ear cancer and other ear infections, and eye problems. Litter size is generally eight puppies.

It’s just another way to try and shut people up and instill a guilt complex in people for speaking up. If you can’t even debate about problems and listen to the other side, how can anyone come to a logical solution to any societal issue at all? The same way some liberals love to call people a ‘racist’ or a ‘bigot’ or any type of ‘phobe’, many black americans will name-call other black americans who don’t stick to the status quo and align under any given stereotypes and preconceived notions about their racial/ethnic group. Ironically, the same people that love to champion freedom of expression are the same people that don’t want to hear opposing arguments or opinions. We live in a damn snowflake generation where no one wants to hear anything that might hurt their feelings. I find this to be the worst type bigotry and hypocrisy at its finest. Frank Dauenhauer

 Its hair is short but dense, providing an all-weather-protective coat. Its expression is alert, friendly and eager. Its stride is easy and graceful, with head and tail held high. Not the prototypical house dog, the black and tan coonhound, nonetheless, makes an exemplary pet. It is mellow, amiable, calm and unobtrusive indoors. Outdoors, its strong hunting instincts take over, and it can be difficult, if not impossible, to turn from a track after it starts trailing. As befitting a dog with its heritage, the black and tan is strong, independent and stubborn. It is gentle and tolerant with children, but it may be too independent to satisfy a playful child.

 How to Use Coon’s age Correctly – Grammarist
Usage
Coon’s age
Coon’s age means a very long time. It is an Americanism that has fallen out of favor, and is considered offensive by many people. Coon is slang for raccoon, coined in the mid 1700’s. The term coon’s age was first used in the early 1800’s and in fact, owes its origin to the folk belief that raccoons are long-lived. Raccoons are not truly long-lived, but their fur is quite hardy, which may have given rise to the belief that raccoons live for a long time. Because of the raccoon’s bandit-like appearance with its black mask, striped tail and stealthy nighttime habits, to coon has come to mean to steal or pilfer, though this verb form of the word coon is rarely used. Coon has also been used as a derogatory term for country bumpkins, as well as a racial slur. The folk belief about racoons’ longevity has been proven incorrect. The origin of the phrase coon’s age is generally unknown to most people. It is usually assumed to be an insult and it is best not to use this term.

The origin of the phrase coon’s age is generally unknown to most people. It is usually assumed to be an insult and it is best not to use this term.

 Find Black and Tan Coonhound Puppies
GENERAL APPEARANCE
The Black and Tan Coonhound is first and fundamentally a working dog, a trail and tree hound, capable of withstanding the rigors of winter, the heat of summer, and the difficult terrain over which he is called upon to work. Used principally for trailing and treeing raccoon, the Black and Tan Coonhound runs his game entirely by scent. The characteristics and courage of the Coonhound also make him proficient on the hunt for deer, bear, mountain lion and other big game. Judges are asked by the club sponsoring the breed to place great emphasis upon these facts when evaluating the merits of the dog. The general impression is that of power, agility and alertness. He immediately impresses one with his ability to cover the ground with powerful rhythmic strides. HEAD
The head is cleanly modeled. From the back of the skull to the nose the head measures from 9 to 10 inches in males and from 8 to 9 inches in females. Expression is alert, friendly and eager. The skin is devoid of folds.

Cowan Family Crest / Cowan Coat of Arms
The surname of COWAN was an occupational name 'the stone-diker a builder of flint and granite walls'. When this name occurs in Connacht records it is a substitute for the names Coyne and MacKeown. In modern times Cowan (apart of course from the area of Dublin) the name is confined to Ulster. In that province it is a modernized form of MacCone, a name which was very numerous in County Armagh in the 17th century. Early records of the name note a Walter O'Cown, the associate of highwaymen, who was beheaded in 1305. Notables of the name include James MacKowen (1814-1889) the poet born near Lisburn, and James C. MacCoan (1829-1903) was the political and historical writer, of Co. Tyrone. Surnames as we know them today were first assumed in Europe from the 11th to the 15th Century. They were not in use in England or in Scotland before the Norman Conquest, and were first found in the Domesday Book. The employment in the use of a second name was a custom that was first introduced from the Normans. They themselves had not long before adopted them.

Considerations If You Are Buying a Coton de Tulear
 Probably the most outstanding characteristic of the Coton de Tulear is its behavior. The Coton is a "companion dog," bred for the pure delight of its intelligent and loving attention to its human family. It is very intelligent and studies its human family with great care. The Coton is an alert, lively companion, but it is slow to anger. Most Cotons seldom bark although some will act as alarm clocks and guard dogs. A Coton usually snuggles in the lap or rests close-by like a small, elegant, mohair rug. Cotons are calm, sturdy dogs, most of whom enjoy the well-intentioned rough-housing of children. Cotons enjoy most household pets including other dogs and cats. A Coton may cock its head attentively when spoken to, smile, and stand or walk on its hind legs to please itshuman family. Cotons are easily trained.

The Black and Tan Coonhound is a hunting breed which requires daily exercise. Long walks are essential to satisfy the dog�s primal instinct to walk. Walks should be supplemented with jogging or running in an open area regularly. However, it should not be let off the leash in an unsecured area as it has a tendency to go after interesting scents and has strong hunting instincts. It tends to gain weight quickly so should not be overfed. Small frequent meals are recommended instead of a large meal. It is sensitive to very high or very low temperatures so should be adequately protected.

coon (n.)
popular abbreviation of raccoon, 1742, American English. It was the nickname of Whig Party members in U.S. c. 1848-60, as the raccoon was the party's symbol, and it also had associations with frontiersmen (who stereotypically wore raccoon-skin caps), which probably ultimately was the source of the Whig Party sense (the party's 1840 campaign was built on a false image of wealthy William Henry Harrison as a rustic frontiersman). The now-insulting U.S. meaning "black person" was in use by 1837, said to be from barracoon (by 1837), from Portuguese barraca "slave depot, pen or rough enclosure for black slaves in transit in West Africa, Brazil, Cuba." If so, no doubt this was boosted by the enormously popular blackface minstrel act Zip Coon (George Washington Dixon) which debuted in New York City in 1834. But it is perhaps older (one of the lead characters in the 1767 colonial comic opera "The Disappointment" is a black man named Raccoon ). Also, in Western U.S., "a person" generally, especially a sly, knowing person (1832). Coon's age is 1843, American English, probably an alteration of British a crow's age. ( Crows are famously long-lived. Compare Greek tri-koronos "long-lived," literally "having three times the age of a crow." But raccoons are not.)

 Coonan the Conquerer
Shooters new to the Coonan Classic are likely not aware that Dan Coonan actually started developing this pistol in the late 1970s. His Model A is essentially a product of arguments with his college roommates, and the pistol and its magazine ended up being part of Dan’s master’s thesis. Dan was already a skilled machinist at the time. In fact, he served as an apprentice in manufacturing gyrocopter parts as young as 15. Like many innovators in the firearms industry, he grew up making things by hand on a mill and lathe. Out of that interest and skill base came the Model A, which possessed a linked barrel. Rather than reinvent the wheel, and without the CNC machining utilized today, the rest of the pistol used mostly 1911 parts. Eventually the barrel used a welded lug before one was machined into it, making it “linkless.” The resulting pistols hit the market in 1981, with only a couple thousand made. Dan Coonan then sold his company to Bill Davis in the late 1980s and left it altogether in 1990.

Description & History of the Coon Caricature
The coon caricature is one of the most degrading and insulting of all anti-Black caricatures. The name itself, an abbreviation of raccoon, is dehumanizing. The coon was portrayed as a lazy, easily frightened, inarticulate, good-for-nothing buffoon. Although he often worked as a servant, was not happy with his status. He was, simply, too lazy or too cynical to attempt to change his lowly position. The coon caricature was born during American slavery. Slave masters and overseers often described slaves as "slow," "lazy," and "wants pushing." The master and the slave operated with different motives: the master desired to obtain from the slave the greatest labor, by any means;

History
In the colonial period, hounds were imported into the United States for the popular sport of fox hunting. Various breeds of foxhounds and other hunting hounds were imported from England, Ireland, and France. Foxhounds were found to be inadequate for hunting American animals that did not hide near the ground, but instead climbed trees, such as raccoons, opossums, bobcats, and even larger prey like cougars and bears. The dogs were often confused or unable to hold the scent when this occurred, and would mill about. This led to the development of treeing hounds by hunters and dog breeders. Foundation dogs were chosen for a keen sense of smell, the ability to track an animal independent of human commands and, most importantly, to follow an animal both on the ground and when it took to a tree.

Foundation dogs were chosen for a keen sense of smell, the ability to track an animal independent of human commands and, most importantly, to follow an animal both on the ground and when it took to a tree.

 It was bred to ‘tree’ (track through the treetops) bears and raccoons over rugged terrain in the Appalachian and Ozark mountain ranges. The Black and Tan Coonhound hunts by scent with its nose to the ground like a bloodhound. It was usually deployed at night, trained to chase its prey up a tree and bay at it until the hunter arrived for the kill. In 1945, the Black and Tan Coonhound became the first Coonhound variety to be recognized by the American Kennel Club. The Redbone Coonhoundand Plott Houndwere later recognized in the AKC’s Miscellaneous Class; other varieties are the Treeing Walker Coonhound, Bluetick Coonhound, and English Coonhound. Today, the Black and Tan Coonhound is a more popular hunting dog than show dog or pet. Competitive night raccoon hunts with Black and Tan Coonhounds are a popular practice. Most Popular Dog Breeds

Coonan Arms Classic .357 Magnum 1911 Pistol - GunsAmerica Digest Coonan Arms Classic .357 Magnum 1911 Pistol
Coonan Arms Classic .357 Magnum 1911 Pistol
Not Your First Pistol!
 The dovetail fixed sights on the base model can be upgraded from Coonan, or you can put other sights on yourself. It shot to point of aim, so as a carry weapon the rounded sight is just fine out of the box. The barrel does not have the hinged link like on a standard 1911, but it does come out of the front of the slide the same way with the front barrel bushing. My test gun didn’t cycle .38 Special reliably even with the replacement thinner spring, but I am sure this is something that Coonan will be working on. Make sure to put the heavy spring back when you return to shooting .357 Magnum or you will put undue wear and tear on your gun. The Coonan Classic .357 is a high quality extremely good looking piece of firearm machinery that reflects the love of its makers. You will be proud to own one, and you will feel that you got a lot more for your money than you paid for. It is a really nice gun that works fantastic. Coonan Arms

Coonan Arms Classic .357 Magnum 1911 Pistol
by Administrator on January 8, 2012
The Coonan Classic .357 is a handful of a firearm and not for the light of heart, but overall I think it is a practical self defense pistol and that it shouldn’t be considered just a novelty. The .357 Magnum cartridge is a very effective round, and Coonan has eliminated all of the variables that have prevented it from being widely adopted in the semi-auto pistol. I shot the Coonan primarily with Hornady Critical Defense. It clocked just over 1500 feet per second and my average group with the gun rested on a bag at 10 yards were about an inch. With the stock sights it shot to nearly exactly point of aim. What else do you need? The $1,249 list on this gun is for the black grips (or possibly the wooden ones) and standard finish, but you can also get it in black or digital camo for additional cost. This is our test gun. It came with an extra mag in this custom made and embroidered Coonan Arms case. The keychain looking thing you see in the case is a pin to load the magazines.

GENERAL APPEARANCE
The Black and Tan Coonhound is first and fundamentally a working dog, a trail and tree hound, capable of withstanding the rigors of winter, the heat of summer, and the difficult terrain over which he is called upon to work. Used principally for trailing and treeing raccoon, the Black and Tan Coonhound runs his game entirely by scent. The characteristics and courage of the Coonhound also make him proficient on the hunt for deer, bear, mountain lion and other big game. Judges are asked by the club sponsoring the breed to place great emphasis upon these facts when evaluating the merits of the dog. The general impression is that of power, agility and alertness.

 The word "raccoon" was adopted into English from a native Powhatan term, as used in the Virginia Colony. ( Powhatan is a member of the Native American [Algonquian]] language family.) It was recorded on Captain John Smith's list of Powhatan words as aroughcun, and on that of William Strachey as arathkone. It has also been identified as a Proto-Algonquian root aroughcoune ("ahrah-koon-em"), meaning " [the] one who rubs, scrubs and scratches with its hands." Similarly, Spanish colonists adopted the Spanish word mapache from the Nahuatl mapachitli of the Aztecs, meaning " [the] one who takes everything in its hands". In many languages, the raccoon is named for its characteristic dousing behavior in conjunction with that language's term for "bear." All of the following mean "washing bear": Waschbär in German, mosómedve in Hungarian, vaskebjørn in Danish and Norwegian, tvättbjörn in Swedish, wasbeer in Dutch, pesukarhu in Finnish, araiguma (アライグマ) in Japanese, orsetto lavatore in Italian, huànxióng (浣熊) in Chinese, and mieshta mechka ( миеща мечка) in Bulgarian. In French and Portuguese (in Portugal), the washing behavior is combined with these languages' term for rat, yielding, respectively, raton laveur and ratão-lavadeiro. In some cases, the "washing" descriptor is applied only to the common raccoon species, such as with the French raton laveur.

The Redbone Coonhound is an American breed of hunting dog. It may be used to hunt raccoon, deer, bear, boar, cougar, or other large game. It originated in the Southern United States, and derives from foxhounds brought by immigrants from Scotland. It is characterized by its deep red coat. It has been registered with the United Kennel Club since 1902, and with the American Kennel Club since 2009. Contents

History
In the early 19th century, Scottish immigrants brought red-colored foxhounds to Georgia, which would later become the foundation stock of today's modern-day Redbone. Around 1840, Irish-bred Foxhound and Bloodhound lines were added. The Redbone name comes from an early breeder, Peter Redbone of Tennessee, though the United Kennel Club credits Redbone's contemporary, George F.L. Birdsong of Georgia, and Dr. Thomas Henry in the 19th century. Over time, breeders followed a selective program that led to a coonhound that was adept at treeing wild-game, was courageous against larger animals such as bear and mountain lions, agile enough to track in the mountains or in the marsh, and could swim if necessary (one of the few hounds with webbed feet). They are ideal for pack hunting of both small and larger prey.

 After the then-existing species crossed the Bering Strait at least six million years later, the center of its distribution was probably in Central America. Coatis ( Nasua and Nasuella) and raccoons ( Procyon) have been considered to possibly share common descent from a species in the genus Paranasua present between 5.2 and 6.0 million years ago. This assumption, based on morphological comparisons, conflicts with a 2006 genetic analysis that indicates raccoons are more closely related to ringtails. Unlike other procyonids, such as the crab-eating raccoon ( Procyon cancrivorus ), the ancestors of the common raccoon left tropical and subtropical areas and migrated farther north about 4 million years ago, in a migration that has been confirmed by the discovery in the Great Plains of fossils dating back to the middle of the Pliocene. Etymology
The mask of a raccoon is often interrupted by a brown-black streak that extends from forehead to nose. The word "raccoon" was adopted into English from a native Powhatan term, as used in the Virginia Colony. ( Powhatan is a member of the Native American [Algonquian]] language family.) It was recorded on Captain John Smith's list of Powhatan words as aroughcun, and on that of William Strachey as arathkone. It has also been identified as a Proto-Algonquian root aroughcoune ("ahrah-koon-em"), meaning " [the] one who rubs, scrubs and scratches with its hands." Similarly, Spanish colonists adopted the Spanish word mapache from the Nahuatl mapachitli of the Aztecs, meaning " [the] one who takes everything in its hands".

Black And Tan Coonhound Description:
Black And Tan Coonhound Care & Grooming:
Black And Tan Coonhound Health Problems:
 The color of the coat is a solid black with tan markings. The Black and Tan Coonhound is an intelligent, hard working breed. It is okay with children if socialized well at an early age. However, it may not take too kindly to rough play. It can be dominant towards other dogs and hence, proper socializing is required at an early age. Caution is advised with non canine pets such as rabbits, birds etc. because of the dog�s strong hunting instincts.

"Coon" is a very common contraction of "raccoon", just as "possum" is a common contraction of "Opossum". Since there are no raccoons in Europe (Europeans first encountered the creature in the New World, and the name derives from the Algonkian), it is not surprising that the expression is not common in England. On this side of the Atlantic, the expression is still used, but it might be considered a "rural" thing to say. cuchuflete

The eyes are hazel to brown, the ears are long, wide, and thin, are set low and far back on the dog's head, and hang well down the neck. The black and tan markings are similar to the Doberman 's and the Rottweiler 's. The Black and Tan Coonhound's bark is loud and baying; it has been described as a deep howl.

Ditto. I last heard this word used as a racial slur by someone from South Carolina, in northern Michigan, in about 1963. He also drank Coke™ for breakfast. I remember it very clearly because it was so stereotypically redneck, and I had never heard the word used that way before (or since, except in films and books). GreenWhiteBlue said: "Coon" is a very common contraction of "raccoon", just as "possum" is a common contraction of "Opossum". ... the expression is still used, but it might be considered a "rural" thing to say.

Another post I fully agree with. It's rustic, dated, and in no way offensive.

 But in his forties, he finally succeeds in becoming king of Aquilonia, the most powerful kingdom of the age, having strangled the previous ruler, Numedides, on the steps of the throne. In his sixties, Conan leaves his country—never to return—to seek new battles in the uncharted west, leaving Conan II, his son by Queen Zenobia (a former Nemedian slave girl), to rule Aquilonia in his stead. Although Conan's adventures often result in him performing heroic feats, his motive is more than often his own survival, enrichment or rise to power and he thus displays many of the characteristics of an anti-hero . Etymology
Conan is the anglicized version of the Irish name Conán. There are several characters who bear the name Conán in Irish mythology, most notably Conán mac Morna, also known as Conán Maol ("the Bald"), a member of the fianna and an ally of Fionn mac Cumhaill. While uncommon, the name is still used in Ireland. Its etymology is ambiguous. Some sources (e.g., Irish Baby Boy Names) say it is the diminutive of con or cú, meaning a "hound" or (figuratively) "a swift-footed warrior". Hence, Conan would mean "Little Hound" or "Little Warrior". Others (e.g., Collins Gem Dictionary of First Names, ISBN 0004587480, 1983) say it comes from the Irish meaning "high" or "wisdom".
